CMS Learning Curves
« on: November 18, 2011, 08:28:01 pm »
I just dipped my toe in the water to learn about Drupal  (Updated Virtualbox, Ubuntu, Lamp and installed Drupal and was in the process of upgrading to Drupal 7) when I stumbled across this cartoon.   

It gave me pause, haha  :-[

That's adorable. It looks like one of those XKCD cartoons. A bulldozer to plow bodies off of the mountain, little stick figures writhing in agony, etc.

Considering that I have developed a client's web site and my own professional web site in Drupal, I wonder what can be said about me?

I like hanging off crumbling cliffs while shinnying up a backward leaning hill?

Drupal does almost everything except floss the developer's a$$. So it stands to reason that the learning curve is insane.

It's not quite THAT bad. Drupal does have such a rich functional and security model that it takes a lot of practice to learn where everything is. One example of this is, Drupal has the concepts of user logins with different roles. So you can have site moderators and site users and site administrators, and just plain visitors. And you can tune it all with extreme granularity.
