Drupal gives its users an incredibly powerful and flexible toolkit. These tools make it possible to build sites that are interactive, integrated, and infinitely customizable… all without writing a line of code.
Join us for this special 2 hour Anti-Crash edition of our day long Site Building class to help you discover what you are capable of when you build with Drupal! In this introductory class you will learn the principles behind:
- Best practices in Drupal project planning
- Drupal's inherent tools and subsystems
- Custom content types
- Views
- Taxonomy
- Search tools
- URL aliasing
- Module selection
- Customized site administration
- …and more!
During this introductory class you will learn just how much you can do by installing and configuring Drupal's contributed modules. This free training will focus on concepts and is built around demonstrations.
Course materials: Attendees will receive a PDF manual which outlines step-by-step activities. Students must bring their own laptop computer.
Why be a builder?
Today's websites are dynamic, feature-rich, and very often collaboratively managed. In the old days, the cost and knowledge required to create such sites would put them out of reach for all but the most skilled developers and largest organizations.
Not anymore.
The growth of powerful CMSs like Drupal has brought us to the world of the 'assembled web,' where sites are largely made up of pre-built components that are combined and configured--not custom-coded.
Yesterday's code-centric webmaster has evolved into the experience-centric site builder.
Drupal, with its contributed (in other words, FREE) modules and themes, gives the site builder an incredibly powerful and flexible toolkit. These tools make it possible to build sites that are interactive, easily integrated with popular services and applications, infinitely customizable, and capable of supporting multiple classes of users…all without writing a line of code.
Join us and discover what you are capable of when you build with Drupal!
