Drupal is a free and open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. Originally written by Dries Buytaert (who still continues to lead the Drupal project), Drupal turned open-source in 2001 and since then has blossomed into a powerful and friendly content organizer with the contribution of countless developers world-wide to the Drupal core itself, as well as various add-on extensions to Drupal (in the form of modules, themes, language kits and documentation etc).
Thousands of websites worldwide rely on Drupal including the official website of White House, FOSSEE Project, IIT Bombay website, etc.
Drupal allows novice web authors to quickly publish their website without any knowledge of writing code or designing pages, while still giving advanced developers an extensive API to hook into the Drupal core and enhance it to any desired objective.
Drupal runs on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP 4.4.0+ (including Apache, IIS, Lighttpd, and nginx) and a database (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite) to store content and settings.
This set of tutorials will cover features and usage of Drupal version 8.x. Please see the associated text box of individual spoken tutorials on the website to decide the versions of Drupal and OS to which it is applicable.
The original Drupal tutorials were created by Acquia and OSTraining and were shared (free of cost) with the Spoken Tutorial Project so that a revised version suitable for Indian students could be created. The Spoken Tutorial Project thanks them and Dries Buytaert for this noble gesture.
The Spoken Tutorial Effort for Drupal was contributed by Priya K. from the Spoken Tutorial Project and school students Varsha Venkatesh, Gautam Narayanan, Ameesha Bhorkade, Vanessa Varkey, Calvin Nikhil Tomy, Prajakta Ghorpade and Hrutika Parab.
The review and supervision of this series was done by Prof P. Sunthar from IIT Bombay.
