Site Building for Drupal 8

Whether you're new to Drupal 8 or you want to improve your skills, the Site Building training has you covered. In Drupal-speak, Site Building means using the Drupal administrative interfaces to put together custom CMS-driven websites without writing code. 

Some folks learn Drupal Site Building skills to work alone making sites with moderate custom needs, others in order to work as a site builder on a team along with coders. Backend developers also need to master Drupal Site Building. If you work as a project manager, designer, or front end developer on Drupal projects, you can also benefit from understanding Site Building concepts.

This training is intended for hands-on learners and will be full of exercises you do with help from instructors and classmates. You will take home a printed course manual to help you review and practice.
