Honestly to start up I was quite lost there was too much informations and
not knowing where to start and I was also tempted to use the "programmer"
approach, which works but takes off the power of updates and community work.
I did find it much easier with "Building your blog with Drupal 7"
It doesn't overwhelm you with information, but rather just gives you the
basic you need to start but this overview will help you immensely when
you'll need later to go in further details.
Plus is freely available here: http://learnbythedrop.com/buildingyourblog
Later when I needed more detail the best book ever is " The Definitive Guide
to Drupal 7"
Which have had everything I needed to know up to now.

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.

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.
