Lesson #28 - Theming Like a Pro!

add1sun's picture
Start: 
2007-09-09 18:00 Etc/GMT

Matt Westgate, co-author of Pro Drupal Development, is going to give us a lesson on Theming! The lesson will start with an existing HTML/CSS theme and carry us through basic "Drupalizing" to get us about 80% of the way there. Then we'll look at how to leverage template.php and Drupal's PHPTemplate system to take us the rest of the way to a fully customized theme. Chapter 8 of Pro Drupal Development on The Theme System is available online for free so everyone can see how concepts from the book are applied to a real world example. Should be an awesome lesson from a great teacher so make sure you mark the date.

One of the easiest ways it to go to #drupal-dojo on IRC freenode server just before the lesson.

Here is the page on how to join a lesson: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2349. Basically you need a browser to go to the classroom and you can use IRC (#drupal-dojo) to have discussion during the lesson. The audio should stream through the classroom but you can also use a TeamSpeak client to listen in.


Thanks for the update. I
