Good news is that there's a 'Beginners' track dedicated to all of you who've heard about it & wanna know what all the fuss is about (& to find out why I'm such a fanboy haha). Everything from 'What is Drupal' to 'Understand Hooks' (which is what constitutes Drupal's robust API!). They're the sessions highlighted in green on the schedule

<br>
Just in case you're not at Defcon this weekend, there's<br>
another great event worth checking out:<br>
<br>
DrupalCamp LA is the annual FREE conference to unite and improve the Drupal community in Los Angeles and the Greater Southern California Area.<br>
( You’re on your own for parking ($10/day), and lunch )<br>
<br>
Drupal is a free open-source content management system (CMS) written in the PHP programming language. DrupalCamps are community sharing + training events for Drupal enthusiasts, especially for newbies.<br>
<br>
DrupalCamp LA is now in its fifth year.<br>
