Organizing Advanced Drupal Camp
I just started using Drupal couple of months back and now I am really happy that I made the right choice by selecting Drupal over other CMS products.
I managed to pick up basic architecture of Drupal on my own by going through the documentation/screencasts/etc.
But still I find documentation on advanced topics missing and they are spread over in bits and pieces everywhere. Very hard to bring all that information together.
So I am planning to organize Advanced Drupal Classes / Meetup (Topic based)

Read moreDrupal 7 in a Day – Manhattan, NY
Get a solid introduction to Drupal in one day. Learn about the most essential features and concepts of Drupal through hands on activities.
