Hi there! Nice guide & really love your tutorials!
Ps: You might want to change the sentence “The Drupal project was started in 2000 by a student in the Netherlands named Dries Buytaert.” into “The Drupal project was started in 2000 by a student in Belgium named Dries Buytaert.” dough.
In both countries they speak the Dutch-language. I presume that’s what got you confused.
Thanks for catching that mistake. I've been to both place and they're lovely. I will update it in the next version.
I made some updates to the document today.
* Corrected Dries' home to be Belgium.
* Added a few more Drupal books.
Drupal-school at http://theartlab.net/podcast/drupal-school seems to be just a lot of advertising, the domain listed as 'for sale'.
Thank for your efforts with the guide; this beginner is just beginning.

It does look like the link is dead. I'm not sure what happened I Googled "Drupal School" and the best link I came up with for now is their video repository on Blip.tv at http://drupalschool.blip.tv/.
Thanks for that. I have bookmarked the BlipTV link in my growing Drupal folder.
Hi,
While appreciating your efforts for this mammoth job of creating a site for learning drupal, i wish to suggest some ideas which would surely make this good site a better site.
1. You can add link for next step of any tutorial videos/Pdf's . Such as after going through the pdf beginners guide, i could not decide what do do next, you can kindly help people like me with a link << After beginners Guide >>.
2. You can also classify your information based on Drupal such as all links for contents, site building, themeing etc. These are available in your tag clouds which is easy for experts like you but new plumbers like me find it difficult.
3. You can also create an online stepwise project to create 4/5 different type of websites giving daywise tasks to users. This would help them learn faster and better.
My apology if my suggestions are undervaluing your noble efforts.
Thanks and wishes

I do what I can in the time that I have available. I also do what I can to help people with specific issues such as, "what to do next." It's hard for me to follow up on things like that when you post anonymously though.
