Drupal

have you got a chance to play with drupal yet? drupal, joomla are all CMS designed with not-so-tech savvy users in mind.
actually it’s quite easy and would hardly need to attend a course to learn. -

I am going to be required to be able to upload materials and do simple changes on a website (which is on Drupal). We have minimal tech support and I have basically zero experience, so I'm thinking of taking a basic Drupal course. I have found an online course which seems to fit the bill on Udemy - any feedback on this company? Any other suggestions?
Udemy tech courses are quite ok , in my experience. There are probably you tube videos that are quite good too , but you have to go thru a few to find a good one , but at udemy courses it will be more systematic . Some instructors will also answer your questions.
Hope you got it during the sale time - which is usually around 10-15 USD. That should be worth the risk . -

I am at level zero, and I'm not a tech person. Since I am to replace a person who's leaving soon, I think I'd prefer a course. The person I'm taking over from is not a tech person too, so the info loss in transmission will be terrible!

There's a sale on now, and it costs $15 (I didn't realise that it's USD). Seems like it's claimable under SkillsFuture, but the SF site lists it at the full price of $130. Does that mean that if I claim, it will cost $130, not $15? Any idea? Maybe I'll have to call someone tomorrow.slmkhoo:

Never heard of it till yesterday too! Unless you are handling a website, I guess it's not something you need to know. Many people just learn bits and pieces in a monkey-see-monkey-do fashion when they take over an established website, but I prefer to get some background and overview as well. Especially as we hope to get someone else to help out eventually and I will have to be the one supervising. The problem with small non-profits is that they don't have much choice about getting people to do the work, so they end up with people like me! -

nowadays websites are such complex with amazing features.
I prefer to remain as users.
Enjoy your learning of Drupal. -

I would prefer to remain a user too! And I'm not aiming to learn \"amazing\" features. I just hope to learn enough to be able to upload new content and make minor adjustments. Oh well, at least I can be a good example to my girls and other young people: \"middle-aged non-IT-savvy SAHM tries to learn Drupal!\"slmkhoo

For SF, you make claims of the course tt costs u $130 & after SF subsidies, they'll refund u the balance, which in yr course I believe is the advertised $15. It's just the way to entice ppl to enrol if they noticed paying $15 out of pocket is worthwhile to pick up skill.
Happy learning!
