Drupal 7 is bound to be one of the most anticipated releases in all of Drupal's history. Not simply because it's the next release, but rather it's "new lease on life" with regards to usability, interface and interaction.
Drupal has long had this "stigma" about it regarding its learning curve. This stigma, however, is there for good reason. Drupal is, for anyone brand new to Drupal, hard to learn because it doesn't attempt to be all things to all people. It's the starter kit to your Lego collection or the concrete foundation to your digital house.
You really can't install a fresh Drupal (and this will include Drupal 7) and expect it to do exactly what you want -- "a fresh Drupal? [sounds like a good fruit, a blue one]".
However, through the addition of key modules, you end up with something far more powerful than what many other content management systems can offer.
In this video I walk through a preview of what is coming in Drupal 7. This tutorial will serve as the starting point for future Drupal 7 tutorials about how to use, configure and leverage this powerful open source content management system.
