What is Drupal? An introduction for programmers

Want to know about this Content Management System (CMS) called Drupal? In this session Peter will demonstrate the amazing 5-minute install before your very eyes as well as showing basic theming using only his bare hands (and a little HTML and CSS). If the audience is well behaved, inquisitive, and above average he may even reveal other well-kept secrets such as the real Nature of Nodes, the Mystery of Modules, the Untouchable Core and, and even (oh my!) Taxonomies.
