Testimonials:
This Drupal Best Practices training course is definitely a must attend. The trainers were extremely knowledgeable and always happy to help and further elaborate on any given topic. I can guarantee that the discussions will keep you completely engrossed and that you will learn a lot!
Oliver and Meghan gave a compelling class managing to balance the interests and needs of both beginning Drupal designers and the more experienced programmers in the room. The conversation was lively and varied, yet the presenters kept to the course outline.
The result was an informative session where students were comfortable both asking detailed questions and sharing their solutions with other students. All in all a great value for the cost of the class. Thank you.
This one-day workshop gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the right way to manage your Drupal website. You'll learn about version control for your code and ways to manage changes in your data.

Comments
Are there any meetup
Are there any meetup organizers in the area who would like to raffle off a seat to this Development Best Practices training at their meetup? We always save a seat or two at our classes just for this purpose. Thanks!
Would someone like to tell me
Would someone like to tell me why this training announcement was removed from the "LA Drupal" group?
As the node author, I haven't received any emails explaining why this action was taken. Was it our offer to donate seats to the training to meetups in the area?
