In the course Drupal Web Development participants learn to use newest version of the Drupal Content Management System, CMS, to set up a complete web site.
The course starts by installing Drupal and a first site is built and the associated modules are chosen. Next it is discussed how a typical site is built in Drupal and how the Drupal page model works.
Participants learn the meaning and use of the various components in Drupal such as fields, views, modules, nodes, blocks and pages.
The course then continues with the layout with blocks and regions and also default blocks and custom blocks are discussed. The content types in Drupal including PAGES and ARTICLES on which fields of different types can be placed are discussed.
Participants also learn what taxonomies are and how you can work with views, themes and input forms.
Finally attention is paid to some advanced topics such as web services with XML-RPC. After completing this course participants can independently build a web site with Drupal.
To develop a Web Site in Drupal virtually no programming knowledge is required. Developers however can develop even more functional applications with the Drupal API.
Â
This course targets persons that want to use Drupal for the design of a Web site or Web Application.
