Last term I the great experience of co-teaching an intensive, full time course on Drupal site development at a local computer school run by the folks at
northstudio.com (who also do Drupal development) in my home town of Victoria, Canada.
It was a small class and a diverse one. Some of the nine students were turning to web development after other careers in law, the building trades, or alternative health. Others had personal projects that required a content management system approach.
