workshops

Hey all!

Just a friendly reminder that Isovera will be hosting our Drupal 7 Layout and Theming Workshop at our Waltham, MA office on June 27 and 28th. The workshop will run from 10:00AM to 5:00PM on both days. Class sizes are small, so you will get a lot out of it.

The workshop will cover:
*Create custom layouts for landing pages on your site
*Make content appear dynamically based on where you are in the site structure
*Change the look of sections on your site
*Create a custom theme in Drupal
*Create a responsive theme in Drupal
*Best practices for sustainable theming

I thought free Drupal hands-on training in the past when I was working for University Information Technology Services. UITS is no longer offering those workshops. I'm now working for the Social & Behavioral College's Tech Department.

I may be able to offer the Drupal hands-on training again for a cost. Hopefully, the workshops would be more in depth and cover more areas like advanced views and multimedia. The workshops may also be available to non-UA people through the UA Outreach College.

Would anyone be interested in taking the workshops even if they were at a cost?

Hi all! At our first meetup we threw around the idea of doing some workshops for beginner to intermediate users. I like the idea and wanted to ask the group what subjects we think would provide the most value for us? I understand we are diverse group from pure beginners to advanced users and would like to mix it up a bit for all of us to enjoy.

Here is what I am thinking:

1. Have a 15-30 minute "Getting started with Drupal" walk through. I would be happy to do a quick install and answer any questions people have along the way.

Anybody keen to start-up something like this? http://www.swiss-miss.com/2011/02/desks-opening-up-at-studiomates.html

It needn't be fancy. A rudimentary space with just some lounges and wifi would be great. Just wanted to throw the idea out there and see what happens.

There aren't many cafes in the evenings which will let me sit around for hours with my laptop. I've tried explaining to them that it's for Drupal but I just get strange looks :)

Greetings Australia!

I just wanted to let you know that the next Lullabot online workshop, called "Drupal Fundamentals" has been planned at a time convenient for Australians to attend. We're running the workshop in the evening US time on Mondays, which works out to be Tuesday morning in Australia!

This online workshop will be happening at 11am* on Tuesdays (Australian time) for 6 weeks starting October 13th. Each class session is 2 hours long and includes question/answer time with Lullabot's experts. The price is $395USD which at the time of this writing works out to be about $450AUD.

What an awesome event this past Saturday!

For those of you who were there, at the end of the workshop we had discussed conducting some sort of event where people could work together to build out their sites and deal with any problems they might have in a more personal setting.

My colleague Kev Walsh recently helped out at a Drupal Barnraising in Paris, and I'm just wondering out loud about the opportunity for us to do something like this locally.

Several months have passed since the Dojo lost it's way a bit when some noble ninjas attempted to create a great deal of good for the Drupal project. In a group of 1500+ members, there is no way to achieve any sort of consensus to why it stalled, how it could succeed, or what the purpose was in the first place. There are, however, a lot of indicators that the concept/ideal of an open learning/mentoring group is solid and is worth reviving.

Greetings, all! I'm new to Drupal, working to redesign Worthington Libraries' Web site and migrate to Drupal in the process.

I've been looking for some good training sessions as I get up to speed and I've heard very good things about Lullabot. I keep hoping they'd offer sessions a little closer to home than the upcoming sessions in Portland, OR and New Orleans, so I contacted Lullabot to ask and the reply I received was:

We don't have any plans currently to do training in Ohio, but are always willing to look at new cities and venues.

Hey there good people of Southern California!

In case you hadn't heard, the Lullabot training road show is making a stop in Los Angeles - February 4th - 8th. The team will be doing a full week of themer training starting with an Introduction to Drupal Theming followed by three days of Advanced Drupal Theming. So if you're looking to learn how to make great looking Drupal sites or learn some jQuery, come on out! There's an early bird discount on until January 11th and, as usual, you can register for both workshops and save.

We'll also be hosting an LA Drupal meetup while we're in town... more info on that coming soon!
