Training Six Hour Startup On Drupal

Yesterday Robin Barre and I spent some time down at the Saturday House in SoDo (in Seattle) training folks involved in Six Hour Startup on Drupal for an upcoming project called SiteFinder. SiteFinder will be a community maintained listing service for available office space geared towards startups. I spent about two hours presenting an introduction to Drupal and then some details about how to configure Drupal, use CCK, Views and Panels, taxonomy and some other necessary modules. Robin then presented an intro to module building, which covered the hooks system, some api details and other tips and tricks.

Share it!

A good description of the module development session is available at Seattle's Drupal User Group at g.d.o.. My presentation is attached there as well. I uploaded the module to my own site since g.d.o doesn't allow .zip files. I had a lot of fun teaching an introduction to module development. If folks are interested, I can do a session at Seattle's upcoming DrupalCamp or maybe one of the other DrupalCamps in May in Portland, OR and Vancouver, BC.
