You understand how to work with Drupal, now you want to make it work for you.
Drupal is a powerful platform for building websites. But understanding how to manage that power to get the site you want can sometimes be daunting: Do I install a module to get that feature I need? What module should I use? How do I make my site NOT look like every other Drupal site? In this 2-day class we’ll cover these questions and more.

Feel you need some Drupal preparation for this class?
You're in luck! On April 10, 2009, one week before the Drupal Jumpstart Training, we're offering a 2-hour workshop called Introduction to the Drupal Experience which covers Drupal basics and would be an excellent preparation workshop for those with web design experience (especially if you've used another CMS) or some Drupal experience that need a formal refresher. Visit the Introduction to the Drupal Experience pageon our site for full info and signup.
