For years Drupal has been known for its powerful content management capabilities. Many large companies leverage Drupal for its rich features and vibrant community of contributors. More recently Drupal has caught the eyes of many developers as a viable framework for web application development. Enterprises shifting from a .NET development environment may find some of Drupal, PHP's, and the LAMP stack in general a bit challenging to fully adopt.

Watch our recorded webinar on Acquia TV where we explore some of the basic concepts of the Drupal system from a developers perspective, discuss some of the basics of PHP and compare Drupal's hook system to the .NET event model.
