Drupal Module Development Deep Dive Week
Get In-Depth With The Drupal API
Sorry! The DC Drupal Deep Dive has sold out. Hopefully you're one of the lucky dogs who got registered and we'll see you in DC. If not, consider checking out our next Deep Dive week which will be on Drupal Theming in Portland, OR from August 2nd - 6th.
Customize and extend Drupal and bend it to your will! Spend a week with the Lullabot team and get an in-depth understanding of Drupal programming.
Immerse yourself with back-to-back workshops: Basic Module Development & Advanced Drupal Development. Register for either one individually, or register for the whole week and save.
We'll work from an example site, and extend the functionality by adding additional features via custom modules we'll write over the course of the week. We'll talk about how Drupal works under the hood and how to approach writing a Drupal module, providing best practices from our experience. There will be plenty of exercises, examples and always room for questions!
