Drupal under the hood

In this hour, we'll take covers off this content management system and have a look at what makes Drupal go. We'll overview the general architecture and the main components: the module system, how hooks work, the "Form API", as well as the theme system. You should come with at least a feel for PHP, SQL and Drupal and we'll send you away ready to hack your way to fame and fortune.
