Hi Rich,<br><br>As one of your learning methods I would suggest <u>Using Drupal</u>.  <br><br><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Using-Drupal-Angela-Byron/dp/0596515804/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1284594249&amp;sr=8-1">http://www.amazon.com/Using-Drupal-Angela-Byron/dp/0596515804/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1284594249&amp;sr=8-1</a><br>

   I&#39;m brand new to Drupal and trying to learn it enough to migrate my<br>
company Web site to it from straight .xhtml/.css. I&#39;m not a professional<br>
coder, but have developed scientific applications over the years in FORTRAN,<br>
C, and now Python. I&#39;m also partial to the command line interface and use<br>
GUIs with less enthusiasm.<br>
<br>
   I&#39;ll have a lot of questions where pointers to where I can read the<br>
answers are what I need. Right now, I&#39;m reading the content handbook and<br>
would like to see an example of a book page/content type so I can better<br>
understand if it would be appropriate for me.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Rich<br>
