The Drupal 7 Manual includes a step by step guide to creating a website using Drupal Software.
Drupal is quite simply the best free website creation software on the market today by a very long way, but many casual builders of websites have avoided Drupal in the past because it's had a reputation for being hard to master. All that changed with Drupal 7, and this book can help you create the Drupal website of your dreams.
If you've not tried to build a site with Drupal before, there's no better time to try. Even The White House and The Economist websites have been created with Drupal.
