Meet the Drupal Community

We spend time during most of our courses talking about the many ways you can interact with the Drupal community.

We'll help you discover how to choose modules, evaluate developers, find documentation, and get connected with your local community.

Getting Stuff into Drupal: Basics of Content Migration

Almost anyone with a bit of Drupal knowledge can build a functional Drupal site these days, but what happens when it's time to get the last 5 years of your organization's content into that snazzy new site? More often than not, the solution involves hiring outside help or migrating content manually (ugh). Fortunately, the Drupal community has written some amazing tools to assist with content migration, and this workshop will demonstrate how to utilize them.

Blue Collar Git

The Git version control system can sometimes be a little intimidating for new users -- until you learn just a little bit about what is under the hood, then the full power of this modern version control system is fully revealed. In this full-day workshop, we'll start off by using Tinkertoys to demonstrate the basic commands of Git (including merge and rebase). From there we’ll move on to dealing with remote repositories, dealing with conflicts, and working with patches.

Site Building 2: Content Displays

This day-long course dives into three of the most widely-used modules that are used to display a site's content: Views, Context, and Panels. Understanding how these modules work (and work together) is key to building a site that delivers content to the right place at the right time in the right format.

Intermediate Theming

This course focuses on creating a new theme from a base theme, including theming content displays and Views output.

Site Administration: Beyond the Basics

This workshop will demonstrate various strategies that will allow you to add and configure advanced features to your site via the administration area.

Building and Understanding Views

This course covers one of the most popular and useful modules for the Drupal content management system. The Views module allows site administrators to create customized lists of content for use in various places. The Views module can output these content lists as pages, blocks, RSS feeds, slideshows, and numerous other formats.

Building Content-Rich Sites

This course covers two of the most widely used modules in the Drupal eco-system: Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views.

Advanced Content Management

This workshop will focus on building a magazine-style web site that pulls in syndicated content and gives editors and users the ability to add ratings and comments. The content is then published in various dynamic layouts based on editor and user input.

Organizing Content

A site's usability is often tied directly to the user's ability to find exactly what they're looking for quickly. Drupal's powerful built-in content categorization ("taxonomy") system can often provide this with relatively little effort. This course will focus on understanding how the taxonomy system works and how you can customize it for your particular site. We'll also discuss several very powerful companion modules that work with the taxonomy system to provide your users with alternate ways to find the content they're looking for.

Adding Advanced Functionality

This course covers some of the more widely-used Drupal modules to add both functionality and usability to a Drupal-powered site. Included in this course are modules aimed at improving a site's search engine optimization (SEO) and layout as well as modules that allow users to rate content. The course also covers several administrator-level tools to help manage content workflow and advanced site configuration techniques.

Module Development Fundamentals

Finding that existing Drupal modules don't quite meet all the requirements when developing a web site? If so, you're probably ready to learn how to extend Drupal's functionality with some custom modules. In this course, we cover the basics of writing custom functionality the "Drupal way". You will learn how to leverage Drupal's powerful "hook" system as well as good coding practices that will help make your modules easier to understand, upgrade, and maintain.

LAMP Administration for Drupal Production

Site Administration: Building Custom Workflows

"Work smarter, not harder". Do you find yourself hitting the ceiling with Drupal's administration tools? Do your Editors and Clients complain about the difficulty of Drupal, or are they prone to make mistakes? Do you need advanced permissions, with multi-level approval? Per-department, per-user, or worse? Drupal has been helping people solve these problems for years now, and new modules are making it more powerful all the time.
