Description:
Perhaps you have heard about Drupal?
Maybe you see it on want ads for companies looking for a Drupal developer?
Or you saw a great website and discovered it was built with this CMS
(Content Management System). Maybe you know there is a large, well established
online community that has used Drupal for years.
What’s all the talk about? What
is Drupal and why use it?
Drupal is a simple to use content
management system that can be updated without knowing a lick of code.
It’s database driven, but don’t let that scare you away. In this
course you’ll see how to easily install this powerful dynamic system
in minutes. Oh, and the software's free!
Drupal can be used for just about
anything:
-Personal Sites
-Blogs
-Photo Galleries
-Company Websites
-Community Driven Websites
This course is a little more then
an intro to Drupal. It’s designed to give you the tools you need to
build a dynamic Drupal site in minutes, or hours. We'll discuss installation,
themes, and launching a site. You will learn how to make your
site easy to update, impressively functional and dynamic. You’ll
discover how simple it is to customize the look of your Drupal site
or install one of the many themes available on the web.
We’ll discuss modules (what they
are, what they do and why they rule) plus getting the best ones out
there that will have you off to a perfect start. You’ll see
how to grant access to others so they can update your site from any
computer connected to the web. We may go over some CSS techniques
in theming our site. We will not go over PHP or MYSQL lingo in regards
to advanced module customization.
After taking this workshop, you will
understand the power that Drupal gives you as a web developer, blogger,
or a web app author.
