Beginner Session - Getting Drupal Installed and Configured for new users. Users bring their laptops and download the installation files ahead of time. Note: Check back Friday evening for files to download, I will try to have them up by then. If not, I'll have them available on USB at camp. - winston
Update (10/16): Apologies didn't have time to update the files (working on it now). I'll bring usb with the needed for everyone. Plan to get to venue well before 10 am so I can give you needed files and help you get set up. -
