Site Building with Drupal

In two days, participants will be brought up to speed on Drupal and will be ready to tackle their own project. Learn how to manage media, build calendars and complex, dynamic queries of content by selecting and configuring the most popular modules.

This course is suitable both for users who are new to Drupal and those who want to broaden their Drupal skills. Participants will also review Drupal's block system and using taxonomy to categorize their content.

The ideal accompaniment is to follow this with a one day introduction to using Panels.

Awesome D7 Party everyone! Glad the sunshine came out just for us!

The next meet up is on Tues Jan 11, 6:30 at Irish Times - the back room.

Agenda:
* Intros
* Community news
* Drupal 7

If everyone is able to come with D7 on their machine we can play around together and answer questions

Also - anyone up to do a presentation? Many DUG host presentations - on a module you are using or a project you have worked on. We will discuss at meet-up.

See you then!
