This year’s conference theme, Discovering Your Digital Destination, is another example of NYSCATE’s ongoing commitment to lead the statewide transformation of teaching and learning through the efficacy of technology.
Located in scenic Rye Brook, NY, convenient to Long Island, New York City, and Lower Hudson Valley school districts, the Metro Conference is most conducive for creating a unique retreat like environment where you and your district team are able to literally settle in, relax, and focus on all of the outstanding professional development, networking, information gathering, and sharing opportunities this exceptional conference has to offer.
The videos of more than 100 presentations that were given at DrupalCon DC are now freely available from the conference website, alongside information about the speaker and about the session topic. A ton of great information was shared at DrupalCon DC, and we wanted to continue to get it out to anyone who's interested. To this end, we turned the DrupalCon DC website into a conference archive with video of each session embedded in it so that anyone who missed a session, missed the entire conference, or just learned what Drupal is last week can still benefit from the knowledge shared in Washington, DC.
Go to dc2009.drupalcon.org to watch session videos, and thanks again to the crew that recorded all of the sessions!
We're happy to annouce our next Drupaltherapy training in Boston, MA. This training will take place on Friday, May 29, 2009, from 8:30AM to 5:30PM at the Boston Center for Adult Education.
We finished crunching the numbers from DrupalCon DC. You can check out all the final figures – including attendance stats and financial numbers – in DrupalCon DC By the Numbers: Community, Profit, and Sustainability posted on the DrupalCon DC website. Give it a read, and please post any feedback or questions you have.
Aimed at people wanting to learn from scratch how to build and manage a complex website in Drupal, this is a 7-day stay in the south of France, in the Roman town of Uzes on the Provence border, including a 5-day intensive Drupal course. The event runs Sunday to Sunday.
Day 1 (Sunday) is orientation and sight-seeing, days 2-6 (Monday to Friday) are taught from 9:30am to 5:30pm, then the evenings are yours and Day 7 (Saturday) is a final day of sight-seeing/relaxing before heading home on Sunday.
The course itself covers (depending on the level of the delegates attending - this is flexible, but we must teach to the lowest common denominator and will clarify precise itinerary to all delegates before finalising bookings):
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- Basic PHP
- Basics of Drupal
- Drupal setup and configuration for Linux and Windows
- Module and theme selection for popular uses
- Advanced use of the Views and CCK modules
