Hi I'm new to drupal but come from a development background (PHP, Python) and would like to create a custom module (although I'm not sure if it is a module or a content block).
I'd like to create a module that will allow me to add names of clients in the backend and then use this information in the front end. Can someone help me out with this. What do I need to be creating, a module, content block or something else. Is there anything I can read to help me get a better idea.
Thanks for any help.

No need for a custom
No need for a custom module. Note that Drupal does not differentiate the front and back ends. You could use the Content Construction Kit (CCK) to make a content type to hold names and other information (I would use the title field for the names, and if you really only need the name you do not even need CCK). You could then use the views module to make a list that displays the names in a block and/or page.
