Getting hands-on

Are you new to Drupal and having trouble getting your head around how it all works? Have you seen an awesome site but have no idea how to make your default Drupal installation work like that? Feel like you could be building sites more effectively? Our two day intensive workshop will show you how to put all the pieces together.

We will get hands-on with Drupal, walk through the process of setting up a Drupal site and discuss its parts, features, modules, concepts, and how they all work together. We'll discuss best practices for creating an efficient, well-tuned site and talk about the best ways of working with Drupal to keep your site future-proof, speedy, and robust.

We'll be discussing Drupal core as well as CCK, Views and several other popular modules. We will show how Drupal's module system works and how it is possible to do a lot with a few well chosen modules. We'll also talk about how to pick the best modules for your site.

Additional information:

Each morning will begin with registration and continental breakfast at 9:30am. Classes run from 10am to 5pm.
