Lessons

Hi All

We run regular Drupal training classes up and down the East Coast and this September we're back in New York for two days: September 14 and 15.

This comprehensive two-day hands on training course is targeted at administrators, integrators and developers who want to learn more about configuring, customizing, and extending CiviCRM to meet their organization / client needs. You don't need to be a 'developer' to attend but you should have basic PHP and MySQL skills, and be familiar with or ready to dive into the CiviCRM code base.

A comprehensive two day hands on training course covering the configuration, administration, and every-day use of CiviCRM. This event is aimed at administrators and technical users at organisations that are either using CiviCRM or interested in evaluating it. It will also be useful for client facing staff that work at organisations that develop or implement CiviCRM, as well as developers who work on customizing and extending CiviCRM and need a complete understanding of "out of the box" features and configuration options.

The key to building a great Drupal site is smart architectural decisions at the beginning of the project. An understanding of Drupal architecture is critical for site-builders as well as project managers, well-informed decision makers, and designers working with Drupal.

This day-long training will be an introduction to PHP from a Drupal perspective. We'll introduce you to PHP syntax, key Drupal functions, Drupal coding standards, and get you reading and writing some Drupal code. We'll also get you used to using the Drupal codebase and API to solve problems.

This training is designed for folks who have Drupal experience but are new to writing code, or have coding experience but are new to PHP or Drupal.

Zivtech is excited to announce another round of trainings in NYC. This time we're offering a more advanced three-day training aimed at helping site builders, designers, and Drupal site administrators climb the Drupal learning curve.
