Class Description

Ready to dive into Drupal? Fear not, lifeguards are on duty! Savvy instructors from Growing Venture Solutions will help you get Drupal installed on your laptop and instilled in your thinking.

We'll begin by introducing Drupal's foundational concepts, then start building your first Drupal site -- create content, install & configure the right modules, and start managing users. Then, we'll focus on tools to make your site shine -- enrich content with fields and taxonomy, customize URLs to be readable and SEO-friendly, create an events calendar with the powerful Views module, and integrate images in powerful and creative ways.

By the end of this class you'll be ready to build your own Drupal sites, understand and speak the the Drupal lingo, and get involved with the vibrant Drupal community to find more tools and solve bugs and make your site more awesome!

Topics covered include:

• Installing Drupal on your laptop
• Diving-in: How to start creating content and basic site architecture
• Unleashing the power of Views: Create custom listings of content without writing code.
• Drupal site design: the basics of configuring and modifying Drupal themes
• Drupal recipes: using and choosing the right modules for your site
• How to best maintain and upgrade your Drupal site
• Common pitfalls, jargon, and best practices.

Of course, we'll tailor the class as much as possible to meet the needs of our class members.

Lunch will be provided as part of the training, but we won't train you in how to eat it.
