Paid training

This introductory one-day workshop touches on nearly every aspect of the core Drupal framework and covers many must-have modules. You'll learn best practices from the experts at Exaltation of Larks how to create a sustainable framework for managing your content. By the end of the day, you'll have created a Drupal site that looks and functions much like any you’ll see on the web today.

In this all-day workshop, top experts with years of front-line experience building large-scale Drupal deployments show you the best known practices for running fast sites for a large volume of users. Starting with a blank Linux virtual server, we will work through the setup, configuration and tuning of Drupal using Varnish, Pressflow, Apache, MySQL, Memcache and Apache Solr.

Developing RESTful Web Services and APIs is a 2-day training on November 3 & 4, 2011, with an optional third day of additional hands-on support for those developers seeking accelerated understanding of exploiting Services 3.0 to its fullest.

During this training, the experts at Exaltation of Larks cover the fundamentals of using the Drupal Services module to create, test and support use of your own web API. This training covers Services 3.0 for both Drupal 6 and Drupal 7.

This is the training you need if you're using Drupal to create a backend for iPad, iPhone or Android applications. Developing your own web API is essential to entering the SaaS (Software as a Service) business model and this training gets you there.

Drupal Architecture (Custom Content, Fields and Lists) is a two-day workshop that explores modules and configurations you can combine to build more customized systems using Drupal. You’ll create many examples of more advanced configurations and content displays using the popular Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views modules.

What you will learn

• Creating custom content types
• Building RSS feeds
• Allowing viewers to filter results
• Building interactive tables
• Displaying content in a grid
• Adding a date field to your content, and sorting by date
• Creating iCAL feeds and other date displays

• How other modules integrate with Views

Is Running a Drupal Shop Running You Ragged?

This is a fun and interactive workshop for companies trying to grow their business and be more profitable.

We dialog about how to grow a Drupal company. If you are a small shop trying to get to the next level, this might be the right place for you. This is interactive and participatory, not a preach-n-teach session. We find out how others are succeeding and struggling so we can all grow together.

Exaltation of Larks is offering a Site Building with Drupal 7 training on Friday August 5th, 2011, the day before this year's DrupalCamp LA 2011, at the University of California, Irvine.

The cost of this full day of Drupal 7 training is just $195 -- that's more than half off the regular price! 10% of the profits from this training will be donated to the LA Drupal Association, so registering for this training benefits you and the whole LA Drupal community!

With Drupal, you can build a website which allows for easy content updates, incorporates features from a vast array of community-developed add-ons, and is sufficiently scalable to accommodate the needs of the large organization. The Intro to Drupal class at AcademyX will prepare you to harness Drupal's powerful capabilities to build a Drupal site with interactive forums and online polls, manage an ongoing flow of new site content, and use the extensive set of Drupal themes to give your site the right look and feel.

Get ready for the fifth annual DrupalCamp LA this August 6-7th. Mark your calendars... this year is a milestone for us and we’re going all out!
