My business depends on training students and beginners on Drupal, and within weeks turning them into productive Drupal developers. Over the years, I have gone through this process dozens of times, and have identified the key skills that make the difference between success and failure in learning Drupal.

The topics will include:

  • Motivation: Why you should learn Drupal?
  • Philosophical background: How to think like a developer?
  • What to expect as a Drupal developer, themer or site-builder?
  • How to be productive in Linux: command line, editors, grep/find, etc.
  • SSH: ssh-keys, scp/sftp, rsync, port forwarding/tunneling
  • HTML, CSS, LESS/SASS
  • JavaScript: jQuery
  • Development Tools: Chrome, NetBeans, HeidiSQL, Git
  • Next steps: Where to start learning Drupal development.
