Read moreBecome a Drupal 10 Developer with Debug Academy! - Begins this month (Jan 21)
New year, launch your career. This course teaches Drupal 10 development with a focus on front end development (including Composer, Git, CMI, SASS, Twig, PHP, and more!)
Whether you're unfamiliar with Drupal, a Drupal site builder, or self-taught with Drupal 7, you're in for a treat. Debug Academy's thorough Drupal course teaches Drupal best practices for developers of any level.
https://debugacademy.com/course/drupal-web-development
Here's what a graduate from the most recent semester had to say:
"If you want to learn Drupal, I can't say enough about Debugacademy. All of the other courses I've taken just gloss over what you need to learn to be a real Drupal developer (or just introduce concepts without putting the pieces together). Debugacademy starts with the basics and by the time you're done you know more than you ever thought you would and have the confidence to become an actual developer. This course is worth every single second and I can't thank Ashraf and his team enough."
What two other students have said:
- A beginner: "I am so glad that I took the course. I get to work from home and earn a good living. It is everything I hoped for and more!"
- An experienced dev: "It's great to finally get to learn the why's of why I was doing certain things/running commands instead of just doing rote execution. Starting to feel more confident already."

We'll address topics such as performance, caching, security, data structure, writing maintainable OOP code, dependency injection, testing, and much more.
Here's what people who took the architect series had to say:
"This is the course to take if you're looking to move from intermediate to advanced Drupal knowledge. The tools and real life examples alone are worth the price."
"This course is time and money well spent. It provides you with practical information to help you make more informed data/content modeling decisions."
"Extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. The instructor (Ashraf) has a very good understanding of the Drupal ecosystem and was able to answer all questions effortlessly."
"Ashraf has deep knowledge of Drupal and it comes out in the examples he provides. He's a clear communicator, and I trusted him to guide us in the right direction. "
