The focus of this group is to be a educational and tutorial resource for new and experienced Drupal users. Hopefully we can get a mix of both as we will need some experienced Druploids to answer the tough questions and some newbies to ask them.
Drupal has a learning curve and the more education around it the better!
The idea is to meet up every other week and come with some questions or problems you encountered developing over the last couple weeks and get them fixed. In the process, everyone should be able to pick up some new tricks.
There is a group in San Francisco, but for those that live in the Daly City to Redwood City area, it would be cool to have a place to meet up every couple weeks.
Cheers,

PHP for Drupal San Francisco, CA
This course is ideal for people who already know other programming languages, but are new to PHP. This course is also suitable for those who know PHP but want to understand how to “read code” used in Drupal. You may not be able to see the difference between what is a standard PHP function and what is a Drupal function. You may be able to hand code in another language from scratch, yet find yourself searching for examples to copy and paste to modify something in PHP. That is simply because you may not be using PHP everyday, and haven’t built up practice.
