You asked and we delivered! Come join us for Lullabot's latest training offering: online workshops. We'll combine live webcasts with self-directed learning to deliver the essential training required to successfully build and deploy sites using Drupal. The course includes several opportunities for Q&A with the experts and chances to test your new knowledge - all online, from the comfort of your home or office. You don't even need to get dressed up! Learn in your pajamas, if you'd like! Over the course of six weeks, you will learn what it takes to build a Drupal site from installation to launch. Ta da!

This 6-week course begins September 9th and meets live each Wednesday at 17:00 UTC (that's 1pm Eastern US, 10am Pacific US, 6pm in the UK, 7pm in most of Western Europe - find your local time here). During each week's 2 hour webcast you will learn new topics and have a chance for live Q&A with your Lullabot instructor. You'll be given exercises to practice your new knowledge on your Drupal site (we'll provide one for you) as well as access to an exclusive forum for help and additional questions. Additionally, you'll get access to the video archive of the live events - so if you can't make it to a live class, you'll won't miss the content.
