Passion
If you or your team are new to Drupal or are not confident in best practices and feel you may lack the foundations upon which to build solid intermediate to advanced Drupal skills, our Drupal Foundations course may be what you are looking for if your team:
- Is new to Drupal, or lacks the skills or knowledge of Drupal best practices
- Is committed to improving their abilities with continual, self-motivated professional development
- Wishes to create excellent modern web sites
- Seeks active participation in an open-source community
- Has effective verbal, written and technical communication skills
Tech
All participants must have access to a suitably configured WiFi-enabled computer (2019 or newer) for every class session, with one of the following:
- Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (with Hyper-V enabled and Windows Subsystem for Linux installed), 16GB RAM, 100GB free hard drive space.
- Apple OS X (12.1 or higher), 16GB RAM, 100GB free hard drive space.
- A modern Linux-based OS, 16GB RAM, 100GB free hard drive space.
It is strongly suggested that the computer be less than 2 years old and in good working order. It is our experience that Mac and Linux laptops provide a smoother experience than Windows-based machines.
