Drupal 7 Layout & Theming Training in Downtown Los Angeles on November 14 & 15, 2012

Join us on November 14 & 15, 2012 in Downtown Los Angeles for Drupal 7 Layout & Theming, two full days of Drupal training! This training is being produced by Exaltation of Larks, a Drupal strategy, development, consulting and training firm with a team of experts in Los Angeles.

Do you already know how to make flexible content types, how to structure your site with custom paths and menus, and how to create dynamic lists of content with Drupal? Have you hit the limitations of Drupal's core block system for placing content on your site? Do you want more control of where content is placed in your page structure?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this is the workshop for you! In this workshop, you'll see how to use a variety of approaches to making dynamic Drupal layouts and find the right approach for you. By the end of the training, you will know:
