How to start Drupal development for a complete beginner
summary
Covers a step‑by‑step beginner path: sets up a working local Drupal environment (demo uses Homebrew on macOS and a VM option for Windows), recommends IDEs (PhpStorm or Sublime), and advises don't hack the core as a hard rule. Points to concrete resources (Drupal.org docs, Symfony/KNP tutorials, Acquia, DrupalEasy), cites a ~63,000‑member community, lists two security areas to watch, and urges building a small real project to practice.
