Drupal in a Day
Drupal in a Day serves as a prerequisite to Acquia's Drupal Site Building course. In this one-day course, participants will gain a solid introduction to Drupal 7, its features, its concepts and the idea of modules. Participants will also learn about Drupal terminology and how Drupal sites are constructed.
In this two-day training, participants will be brought up to speed on Drupal and will be ready to tackle their own project. Learn how to manage media, build calendars and complex, dynamic queries of content by selecting and configuring the most popular modules.
Duration:
3 days
Prerequisites:
An understanding of a Content Management System is helpful. Experience using and building websites using systems such as Wordpress, Joomla!, or HTML and CSS.
