Testimonial

On March 11th I attended the first DrupalEasy Workshop in Orlando, Florida. I'm an experienced web developer who has recently picked up Drupal as a tool for helping to build high quality content-driven websites. Mike and Ryan were excellent teachers - they gave a thorough overview of a complex topic in a short space of time, and provided plenty of resources for us to continue learning. The workshop is essential for anyone who has previously configured a basic Drupal site and wishes to take their skills to an advanced level. I would not hesitate to recommend DrupalEasy.com training and hope to attend more workshops in the future.

This workshop will focus on building a magazine-style web site that pulls in syndicated content and gives editors and users the ability to add ratings and comments. The content is then published in various dynamic layouts based on editor and user input.

A site's usability is often tied directly to the user's ability to find exactly what they're looking for quickly. Drupal's powerful built-in content categorization ("taxonomy") system can often provide this with relatively little effort. This course will focus on understanding how the taxonomy system works and how you can customize it for your particular site. We'll also discuss several very powerful companion modules that work with the taxonomy system to provide your users with alternate ways to find the content they're looking for.

This course covers some of the more widely-used Drupal modules to add both functionality and usability to a Drupal-powered site. Included in this course are modules aimed at improving a site's search engine optimization (SEO) and layout as well as modules that allow users to rate content.

Finding that existing Drupal modules don't quite meet all the requirements when developing a web site? If so, you're probably ready to learn how to extend Drupal's functionality with some custom modules. In this course, we cover the basics of writing custom functionality the "Drupal way". You will learn how to leverage Drupal's powerful "hook" system as well as good coding practices that will help make your modules easier to understand, upgrade, and maintain.

"Work smarter, not harder". Do you find yourself hitting the ceiling with Drupal's administration tools?
