Introduction to Drupal for (non-Drupal) developers

With Drupal developers becoming very popular on the job market, the demand for guidance of developers from other technologies becomes high. Last week, with the publication of the article Becoming a Drupal coder: a wise carreer move a clean document guiding to all Drupal information resources online and offline was published.

It happens to be I'm doing a presentation this week targetted at developers working with another technologies. So I decided to publish my presentation slides.

The goal is to give developers working with another technology a taste of where Drupal came from, where it's at, how it works and give them enough information to get them started on their own. Expect a Drupal history overview, recommended modules, recommended information resources, a list of books to get you started, an introduction to what hooks are, how theming works, ...

Anyone wanting to share these slides is encouraged to do so. If you'd like to use these for your own presentation, go ahead. Just drop a note in there where you got them from ;)
