Trainings

This is a hands-on lab/workshop to teach you how to run Drupal in your own AWS account. We will look at three different ways to deploy Drupal.

In this training, attendees will learn how to run Drupal's PHPUnit and Nightwatch.js tests on their own machine – directly on their machine, with DDEV, or with Lando!

Drupal 8+ changes made it necessary for developers to have a stronger understanding of object oriented programming. In this training we'll discuss and demystify some of the most useful OOP concepts, patterns, and jargon as they apply to modern Drupal development.

This introductory training will cover the basics of creating and administering a website with Backdrop CMS.

In this workshop all students will build their own portfolio website on Pantheon, using Backdrop CMS. As we walk through each of the steps required to build a website, we'll point out many the various improvements that have been made to Backdrop core systems. Students will be asked to follow along.

Component-integration with a Drupal website is one of the most difficult process to grasp when developing with the component-based approach.  There are so many scenarios for how values from Drupal fields should be retrieved.  Drupal doesn't make things easier either since in most cases Drupal will not render just the value of a field but instead provides a full array for a field.  In addition, retrieving field values from Drupal may require multiple Twig templates and these also vary depending on the entity type you are working with (i.e. blocks, views, nodes, paragraph types, media, etc.).  You will be surprised to learn that sometimes the problem with integrations may be the result of how components are built.

Are you Drupal-curious? Just getting started with CMS’ and WebOps? This live, three-hour workshop, will take you from understanding what Drupal is, why Drupal 9 matters, to creating basic content, users, and an overview of more complex Drupal features. No prior experience with Drupal or web development is necessary.

This half-day training is an extension of the Drupal Site Building 101 training. Training will cover the basics of creating a Drupal 8/9 theme, Twig templates and template overrides, and simple preprocessing. 

You will learn to use the Migrate API to upgrade your Drupal 6/7 site to Drupal 8/9. Check how the automated upgrade procedure can help you get a head start in writing the migrations. You will learn different migration strategies, how to accommodate changes in site architecture, tips on troubleshooting issues, and much more.
