Chris, With all due respect, I think how fast/easy you pick up Drupal depends on your prior experience. I have many years experience doing traditional programming (c, .net, etc). I was able to get rolling with Drupal fairly painlessly (set up the menu structure, start adding content). Granted, as I continue on there are some tough hurdles. Views, Content Types for instance. That was tough, but I'm getting there. I know there are a lot of hurdles yet to come. As a coder, I solved some problems with PHP code behind the scenes. But, as I got close to making it work, I started understanding how I could have done the same thing entirely within Drupal with no PHP outside. It's been a strange trip indeed. Phil

Chris, I will get the book. Thanks for your suggestion.
I have page.tpl.php theme copied and modified from Zen. In Drupal, for the home page, I enabled system noode_view and created a variant for the HOME page with a selection creteria for front page and 3 column layout panel. This is now overwriting the templates content area. Our other inside pages of the static website have 2 column layout.There are over 60 such pages with left side being content and the right side is the navigation. I am trying to understand if I need another template for these inside pages on Drupal and the relationship of panels with the inside template for over 60 pages? What is the best way acheive this functionality?

Drupal definitely isn't something you will get up to speed with in a short period of time. I think you really have to work with it every single day and make it your focus. If it has to be in Drupal for whatever reason than you have no choice but if it's just for tabs, I don't get it. Maybe WordPress or something would be easier and quicker.
Drupal kicks butt though and I will never touch WP again. The best book for me that I reference daily is the Pro Drupal Development book. It's a big yellow and black book and covers everything you need or might want to learn.
Good luck and you definitely have plenty of help here so always ask.
