Learn to theme like a Rockstar at the 2-day theming workshop. Meant specifically for those already theming in Drupal but need to take their skills to the next level.
From starting with the bare bones of Drupal theming to completing a custom theme, this two-day course will teach you the concepts of overriding, intercepting and altering markup in Drupal. You will complete a step-by-step walk through that will show you how to create a new theme based on a well tested theme development framework and using development best practices. You will then go in more depth, coding a custom theme, using pre-process functions and theme functions to get fine-grained control. Finally, you'll learn how to ensure your themes are secure and stable, and come to understand how to control the output of CCK and Views.
Prerequisites:
Site building experience with Drupal or completion of Drupal in a Day and Site builder training. Experience with HTML and CSS and some understanding or experience with PHP is preferred.
By the end of the training you will be able to:
-Understand the anatomy of the Drupal theming system
-Know how to create a theme for your website
-Know where to alter the look of Views output
-Be able to locate and override markup produced by Drupal through theme functions
-Be able to change contents of variables in templates

It would probably be good if
It would probably be good if you mentioned that this is a paid training.
Putting my local organizer hat on
Putting my local organizer hat on for a moment, there's a "Paid training" tag that can be added to LA Drupal group posts but only for events. This was posted as a discussion.
With my Exaltation of Larks hat on, I think it's great there's a public theming class available in the region. Exaltation of Larks isn't offering anything like this class this year and I'll gladly refer people your way, Susan!
