Once you have installed Drupal, question arises what should we do next to get hands on experience?

so here is a list to task and activities you can do to be busy with your Drupal installation.

CRUD

CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update and Delete

These are the four basic functions of persistent storage usually related to data or content.

A public-facing website is a website that is accessible to anyone on the internet without the need for authentication or special permissions.

When we talk about a CMS certain very basic aspectes are needed from the same. Here we are going to see the most basic needs that a CMS should provide. Content Management, CRUD operations, Usability, Searching, Accessibility, Access Control and Scalability

A web CMS is a very common way to deploy and manage websites. It provides us with a lot of functionalities. If you are planning to deploy a website using a web CMS then you should check out if the following expectations are fulfilled

A server-side scripting language is a programming language used to generate dynamic web content on the server before sending it to the user's browser. It allows websites to interact with databases, handle user authentication, process forms, and generate personalized content.

Even though none of the websites theses days are static in design and content, even then if you decide to develop a static website for some reasons, this post discusses the challenges and skills needed for management of the same.

Managing a static website involves manually handling content, structure, and files without the use of databases or server-side scripting.

Internet and the web has become an integral part of our lives today. With the vast amount of people visiting websites for various purposes and looking for appropriate contents, a web developer need to be in pace with the current need and expectation from a website. This post discusses the key aspects that should be included in a website for better interactivity and engagement.
This post also clarifies why static websites cannot provide these functionality on their own.

Drupal is a free and open-source content-management framework that can be customized/changes and tweaked to make simple blog type website or complex web applications.

Many a times the URL looks like the following https://opensourcecook.in/index.php?page=blog&id=123
This type of URL does not convey any meaning to either the user of is useful for search engine, instead of these if we have something like https://www.opensourcecook.in/blog/post/iot/what-smart-device

The above URL clearly indicated that the it is a "blog post" with main topic "IoT" and with discussion about "What are smart Device".
When we install Drupal/WordPress it by default uses the clean URL. If the clean URL is not set in our web-server (Apache) then you will find it difficult to work with Drupal or many pages will show error. This post talks about how to enable clean URL

LAMP is a popular open-source software stack used to build dynamic websites and web applications. The same is also used for developing web setups on local machines.
What is the LAMP Server? The acronym stands for Linux (the operating system), Apache (the web server), MySQL (or MariaDB, the relational database management system), and PHP (or sometimes Python/Perl, the programming language).

Python also comes with it set of libraries which can be used for different set of purpose. Having the knowledge of the list of libraries can help our efforts in coding and writing better and efficient code (as discussed in previous post about libraries).
