CMS is aimed at managing all forms of content. Content can be separated into two components, the content itself and the display of that content.
A good place to start working with the content is the CCK Module ( http://drupal.org/project/cck). A great tutorial on CCK is located at http://www.lullabot.com/articles/an_introduction_to_the_content_construction...
A good place to start working with display of that content is the Views Module(http://drupal.org/project/views). Some tutorials for the views module are located at http://drupal.org/node/59157

This maybe a wrong question to this list, but hoping it is OK :-)
I am supposed to do a demo site for a company. They have chosen Drupal for the platform after considering Joomla, which I did a demo site for them. I realized CMS is aimed at Blog users, and I am having tough time getting quick tutorials for commercial site where no Blog or News Feeds are needed.
The reason for CMS needs are multiple Asian language support, archiving news releases and other documents, and ability to edit the contents by managers, not to mention needs for CSS2-clean.
Is there any tutorial for commercial site design which skips all the needs for Blog? I haven't been able to find one so far. Drupal terminologies are more confusing than Joomla to me. Joomla offers manual which you can print, bind, and read even where you don't have the net access. I was hoping to find something like that for Drupal but to no avail. I did order the book from Packt but not sure when I receive it.
Thank you for your time.
