Six Trainings Announced to Level Up your Drupal Skills
This is the first European DrupalCon since Drupal 8 was launched, and we're excited to offer six training courses that will help you learn something brand new or level up your skills. Because these courses span job functions and skill levels, there's a little something for everyone. Each course will be held on 26 September from 09:00-17:00.
Skill building
- Views: From the Ground Up: learn how to use the Views module. You'll work on eight real world (and useful) views created with an increasing complexity.
- D8 & Symfony: Dive Into the Core Concepts that Make Each Fly: what magic happens between the start of a D8 request and the page being returned? How do routes and controllers fit in? Where are services useful and how are they built? In this workshop, you'll get an intro into routes, controllers, services and events: the four concepts that most fundamentally drive the new Drupal.
Leveling up
- Front-End Drupal 8 Development: for front-end developers to get more familiar with Drupal 8's new workflow. This is a practical course about the process of building a Drupal 8 theme that's easy to extend and maintain.
- Introduction to Drupal 8 Module Development: module development is more powerful than ever with Drupal 8. This workshop includes an overview of some of the main concepts and tools, as well as several hands-on module development exercises designed to build knowledge and confidence.
- Building Blocks of Content Management: Exploring Drupal’s Entity API: you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the Drupal 8 Entity API. You'll also create a ready-to-use Event entity type that is highly integrated and benefits from all of Drupal's flexibility—all with very few lines of code.
- Drupal 8 Development: Workflows and Tools: the best practices for structuring a Drupal 8 project's codebase with Composer, configuration management, and automating tests with unit testing and Behat. Also, how to work effectively in different scenarios, ranging from being the lone developer to part of a big team.
Current training ticket prices are €450 + VAT and will be offered at this special price until 26 August, when prices will increase to €500 + VAT. There are a limited number of seats at each training, so sign up for the one that'll help you most soon!
