Come Build a Drupal Project With Team Lullabot
Our next round of workshops is from November 5th to the 9th in Providence, RI. Come join us as we build an entire Drupal-based community photo sharing site in one week.
The week begins on Monday with the 2-day Drupal Intensive Workshop where we will talk about site architecture and features, how to choose modules for the project, and the best practices for assembling the functionality for our site while keeping things speedy, robust, and future proof.
Then on Wednesday we switch gears to talk about Drupal Theming. During this 3 day workshop, we focus on creating a professional theme for our photo sharing site. We will talk about Drupal's presentational layer and how to move our Drupal site from stark-but-functional into the realm of "Wow! Nice site!"
We will stop often to answer questions and talk about the general theory and concepts behind what we are building so that students can apply these practices to their own projects.
Join us for an individual class or attend both workshops at a discount and get the full view of the project from beginning to end.
Early-bird discounts are available through October 5th and attendance is limited so register soon!
Please contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in Providence!
