Drupal in a Day is a free, hands-on workshop designed to take you from “What is Drupal?” to building with confidence—in one day.
You’ll get a practical introduction to Drupal CMS, learn how the Drupal community works, and work through the core building blocks: local setup, installing Drupal, creating and structuring content, using layouts and blocks, understanding recipes, and getting an introductory look at Composer-based workflows.
This workshop is primarily intended for students with a background or academic focus in Computer Science or related fields. However, anyone with a strong interest in learning Drupal is welcome to apply.
Bring your laptop—you’ll leave with a working site, clear next steps, and a Certificate of Attendance for participants who complete the workshop.
Presenter: Martin Anderson-Clutz (mandclu), Acquia
Co-Presenters: Andreas Pelekoudas (anpel), Web Bunch - Georgia Afioni (gafioni), E-Sepia
When: 23 April, 10:30–18:00
