Drupal Camp Seattle is June 28 – 29
Biznik member Samantha Moscheck specializes in building websites for organizations “whose work is consistent with our vision for the world we want to help build.” Her company, DigitalAid, builds websites based on an open-source content management system called Drupal. I know at least one Biznik member, Joe Shirley, who is also using this powerful free platform. This morning she sent me an email about an event coming up that those of you interested in learning more about Drupal should find interesting:
Drupal-Camp Seattle is an opportunity to learn about the Drupal Content Management System. This community driven event will focus on the PHP Theme Engine theming system, theme-able functions, Drupal 4.7 modules, module development and CiviCRM.
If you are a php programmer, or a css/xhtml programmer looking to increase your ability to rapidly deploy websites for clients, work with other people doing interesting things, and generally spend less time re-inventing the wheel or maintaining your own proprietary or single source CMS, this event is a perfect introduction to Drupal. You’ll leave with a comprehensive understanding of deploying a drupal website out of the “box” and a foundation on which to build your Drupal knowledge.
There are over a dozen firms working in the United States deploying Drupal sites and many of them have openings for developers familiar with Drupal. The demand for Drupal powered websites is outstripping the community’s ability to build them. Developers with Drupal skills have ample opportunities to work in the field.
Drupal Camp is free, but the suggested donation is $20.
