Hi guys!

I am building an online store using drupal. I am new to drupal. I was wondering where in LA can find any help, tutoring or classes where somebody can help with this matter. Or may be somebody would be willing to teach me on their free time. Specifically I need help with building product page, slideshows and setting up shopping cart. Thank you!

I've found Droplabs to be a good place to find helpful and knowledgeable people.
There are quite a few free lancers for hire working out of there...directions etc. are on their site:

Taking advantage of Droplabs

Hi Olesya,

I'm Blake Senftner, one of the founders of Droplabs. Droplabs is a coworking collective - meaning we are independent consultants who work together in a shared space.

To take advantage of Droplabs, you have the following options:

  • Come to Droplabs to work on your site, and as you work any questions you have will be met with conversation and most likely answers;
  • If you do not work on your site yourself, come to Droplabs and discuss with the people there what you need done, and a consulting conversation will follow;
  • From the Droplabs site, we have a calendar listing events - attending one of those events will have a higher concentration of independent consults to choose between; If the event is a "meetup", you will have the opportunity to announce your needs - drawing consultants who are available to seek you out.

If you have immediate, pressing needs, I specialize in eCommerce and WebAPIs. Although I have a somewhat full plate, at the least I can direct you with more detail after knowing more information about your specific needs.

As always, because Droplabs is an open collective it is best to call ahead before traveling to Droplabs. We're open 5 days a week, at least, but the opening time varies with whomever of the founders happens to show up first each day. Usually between 9 and 11am.

There are monthly meetups that go on in the LA area. These can typically be found in the Event Section http://groups.drupal.org/la/events

That is a good place to network and meet people that work with drupal. You can also post a job (http://groups.drupal.org/node/add/job?gids[]=3002) or contact a member directly from our Directory of Los Angeles-based Drupal businesses http://groups.drupal.org/la/business-directory

If you have any questions, you could ask it here or you could also chat with us on IRC http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=drupal
