Spring has sprung! The local Drupal community is growing and developing quite a network of learning and networking opportunities. Here are some of the upcoming gigs.
- This group (of course): The Twin Cities Drupal Users Group Meeting. These meetings are free and happen monthly. No level of expertise is expected or required. Usually a topic of interest is discussed along with open forum for questions and networking. Always some yummy pizza following the topic discussion. Every 4th Wednesday evening starting at 7 PM. More info can be found here - be sure you are signed up to receive emails through the "my membership" link in the right column. Hope to see you soon!
- Lullabot's Drupal Theming and jQuery and API and Module Development classes for the more advanced Drupal developers. For more information, see their post below.
- Drupal Basic Training: Build a Drupal Website. For those of you how are just starting Drupal, Advantage Labs, Inc. is offering a 4-week class/workshop/seminar series on how to build websites using Drupal. We've been hearing from many folks - from the users group meetings to the Drupal Day at the Science Museum attendees - that a class like this would be helpful. It starts April 14th - a week from Monday. We expect to follow the series with more topic-based workshops (one-time) and more advanced classes.
We are also excited by Open Circuit. Science Museum of MN, Sunday's Energy, Gorton Studios, Steve Hanson (TC Drupal online group founder), TCDrupal Users Group and others have all been working toward more extended collaboration on Drupal learning opportunities. Stay tuned for more info to learn about Drupal and get involved locally.
