About Ready. Set. Drupal!

This course “Ready. Set. Drupal!” is intended as a first step launch into Drupal for a range of participants. The idea was originally conceived as a half-day free training which could be run alongside the first day of a regional DrupalCamp. As we tested the materials, we found they could also be used over the course of a few evenings as part of a local meet-up group. Consult the instructor guide for details on timings and how to run the course.

Here is an outline of the course.
