Zombification!

DrupalZombie (http://drupalzombie.com) is for people who want to develop for Drupal 7, but are not übergeeks. Weekend programmers.

The articles are written by a quasihuman who is a better teacher than programmer. The articles:

  • Explain in text and images.
  • Use metaphors.
  • Are mindful of the expert's blind spot.
  • Do other gnarly stuff for beginners.

DrupalZombie explains things one part-time Drupaler has learned. Maybe they'll help other weekend programmers stay among the unundead.
