Drupal Training: Drupal in a Day & Drupal for Site Builders

Acquia is now offering training courses to those interested in Drupal. Drupal in a Day will provide an overview of creating a Drupal site from start to finish. If you are on the fence about using Drupal, then this course is for you. Drupal for Site Builders, a two-day training, will provide a more in-depth experience with Drupal and give you the skills to get started building a site using Drupal.

Both trainings can be purchased together, or a la carte, depending on your needs.

Drupal in a Day - June 28 from 9:00AM - 4:00PM

Description: Drupal in a Day will be an overview of creating a Drupal site from start to finish. Participants will start with a blank website and, already having seen the final site, will start with adding and managing users, creating user profiles, adding custom content, and managing that content (including turning on and off comments, or setting comments to read-only).  Participants will then create custom content types and look at views to display this content in various parts throughout the site, including custom blocks and list pages, such as a blogroll, the last five images added, or the latest blog posts added to the site.

Because this class will be an overview and not an in-depth course, it is perfect for people who are on the fence about using Drupal or who are looking for a hands-on introduction. Those who are looking for an in-depth Drupal site-building training should additionally purchase the Drupal for Site Builders course.

Cost: $410 per person includes lunch and materials *Note: Government discount available

Drupal for Site Builders - June 29 - 30 from 9:00AM - 4:00PM

Description: In two days time, participants will be brought up to speed on Drupal and be ready to tackle their own project.  This course is designed both for users with no Drupal experience and those who are familiar with Drupal and want to expand their knowledge and dig deeper into their sites.  The course provides in-depth discussions on Drupal’s installation process and managing users, comments, and content.  Participants will also review Drupal's block system and using taxonomy to categorize their content.

On the first day, significant time will be devoted to creating new content types using the Content Construction Kit (CCK) and exploring field types, widgets, and the corresponding settings.

The second day will be dedicated entirely to CCK and Views. Views is a powerful tool used to create custom pages, blocks, and RSS feeds on your site.  Participants will finish the day by creating a photo gallery using CCK, image field, and Views.

Cost: $820 per person for two days includes lunch and materials *Note: Government discount available
