About Drupal Development Best Practices

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.

We cover industry-approved deployment strategies that let you move smoothly through development, testing and live environments. You'll get a high-level overview of how to modify the way your site looks by sub-theming, preventing hours of frustration should your original theme be updated.

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.

Exaltation of Larks 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.

Hi guys...trying to sign up for the earlybird discount listed here and it's not going through.
Can someone give a hand?

When I entered the code, it said it was expired?
(editing to add that I first attempted at 4PM today, and it's now 7:50PM on March 1 in Los Angeles...even though the timestamp shows March 2)

James, I'm sorry that the 50%

James, I'm sorry that the 50% coupon code expired today (March 1st).

I'll follow up with you separately to talk about the training options at this year's GLADCamp.
