    Do you feel like you're spending way too much time fighting with Drupal rather than embracing it? This one day course is intended for people who already know the basics about Drupal, but really want to take it to the next level. This course is perfect for any skill level and covers a wide range of topics.

    This 'nuts and bolts' course is a peek into our toolbox. These tools help keep our projects manageable and finish on time while keeping our developers sane. This course covers many topics like git, working in muti-developer environments, how to use patches (and contribute them back!) as well as basic theming and module development. If you're looking for the best bang for your buck, this is it.

    This course is perfect for all skill levels. You'll get the most out of it if you already have a basic understanding of Drupal site building, but even if you're already a Drupal expert you will learn about other topics that can significantly increase your productivity.

    I'll be one of the trainers leading this workshop and I'm very excited for the opportunity to help you get to the next level of Drupal. Everyone has some bumps in the road starting out. Everyone tries Drupal and gets stuck at some point. We're here to help.
