It was amazing how to get things done with drupal, the installation, setting the env on gnu/linux. Then moving on to developing a site with the look you want it to have, getting involved with modules, blocks, regions, tpl files, dpm, taxonomy, vocab and many more to get things going... all these in a localhost.
Finally(hope so) the hosting part
localhost -------------> public domain
Involved copying data, exporting and importing mysql data and some tweaking with the settings.php file to get the site up.
Was that it? Couldn't find my url in google search.
