Drupal Training in Vancouver
I am up in Vancouver right now getting a little training using Drupal. The hosts are RainCity and Bryght--both are heavy developers in Drupal.
A couple of months ago when I was up here with several other WESTAF staffers and our then Chair, we met with some of the Bryght guys which helped firm up some opinions I had on Web 2.0.
The current set of meetings are an intensive workshop on engaging in development in Drupal which will hopefully help WESTAF develop new sites and systems in a more efficient manner.
Today we covered setting up a site in Drupal and what the various "out of the box" modules exist. We took a quick look at themes and then had a Question Answer session.
My brain is starting to feel pretty full--and its just the beginning! I'm looking forward to the next three days.
As an aside, there were no fewer than eight Macs in the room with nary a Windows laptop to be seen.
