Event details
Description:
Provide comprehensive, hands-on training on Drupal 8 theme and layout development. This course provides a variety of approaches for making dynamic layouts in Drupal, and helps users to choose the right approach for their site. The course provides techniques and best practices for configuring a flexible and extendable layout for websites and enables users to get more control over the look and feel of their sites by creating custom themes in Drupal.
The procedures are introduced step-by-step and then reinforced with practice and challenges. You'll work on a site that meets the needs of a client and reflect on your own experience to take the procedures you learn back into your own work and any new situations you encounter.
It is a full day course and intended to serve as day two of a two-day Drupal site building curriculum.
Target Audience:
Drupalists new to theming (Learners) and HTML / CSS developers new to Drupal (Newcomers).
