FREE Drupal 8 Mentored Training

We're excited to announce the very first Drupal 8 training in Los Angeles! This free workshop is from 2-5pm and uses the extensive Drupal video library at BuildAModule.com (http://buildamodule.com/). Bring your laptop, your lunch and learn Drupal!

This time we'll be focusing on Upgrading to Drupal 8 (http://buildamodule.com/collection/upgrading-to-drupal-8) and Drupal 8 Developer Prep (http://buildamodule.com/collection/drupal-8-developer-prep). Bring a WiFi-enabled computer that you can use to connect to the internet and watch videos on (and a set of headphones). Those without headphones can buy an inexpensive pair of headphones from the venue.

About Mentored Training

For more information about the mentored training concept and how it works, here's a summary from Chris Shattuck at BuildAModule.com (http://www.buildamodule.com/):

Unlike traditional workshops, instead of spending the full day in lectures, each student will work at their own pace through a set of comprehensive, focused training videos covering one or more of three broad areas of Drupal skill sets: Site Building, Module Development and Theming.

Experienced mentors will be available to help students answer questions on a one-on-one basis, work through sticky spots, or demonstrate additional examples to help clarify difficult concepts. By using video training instead of a live lecture model, students will be able to work at their own speed, pausing where they need to, replaying material they didn't get the first time around, and skipping material they're already familiar with. And instead of lecturing, the trainers will be free 100% of the time to help individuals through tricky spots or point them in the right direction.

If you've ever zoned out during a lecture and found yourself a little lost, or been frustrated that the short time available for questions gets taken up with discussion you're not interested in, this is the perfect environment for you. You can take breaks when you need, tackle exactly what you need to learn (or we'll help you figure out what that is) and get a lot of personal expert advice along the way.

All levels of experience with Drupal will come out of this workshop having made a huge step up the Drupal learning curve, guaranteed. Students will get a full week of access to all the training videos so that they can continue to review and expand their knowledge following the training.
