Friday September 9th 2016 - RSVP @ http://www.meetup.com/drupal-1
What is Drupal? Where did Drupal come from? How can Drupal help you?
The Chicago Drupal Meet Up Group has been hosting free training events since 2006 and starting in 2013 we have been syncing these events with Global Training Days around the world. Not only will you be learning Drupal, but so will hundreds of people around the world. More info @ drupal.org/learn-drupal
Limited spaces are available to participate and learn the basics of Drupal 8 together in a group format.
Jump into the driver seat with our hands on experience known as the "Drupal Test Drive". Not only will we cover an introduction to Drupal, you will also:
*Be given a free temporary Drupal 8 website.
*Learn how to create and edit content.
*Utilize open source modules to extend functionality of your website.
*Add users and manage groups with permissions.
*Plus your temporary website is available on the Internet to play with after the workshop.
