The main aim for the saturday / workshop vibe, is:
- Get a site up for Charity Drive.
- Train drupal newbies / intermediates while we do it via hands on site creation from start to finish.
- Hang out
I thought we could start around 9am, stopping for Lunch (bring your food, or we'll pop out) and carry on till mid avies, and possibly go out for supper in town... you may come and go as you please.
The Bootcamp will include a site basically starting from scratch with the following:
* WAMP, vhosts and hosts setup (Windows)
* Initial Drupal Install - settings.php, MySQL DB with phpmyadmin
* Install and configure popularly used modules
Then I'll do a theming section as well, probably using Blueprint.
I may use contexts rather than panels.
I'm guessing this bootcamp will be more useful for beginners to intermediate Drupal developers and those who want to see how one can use Drupal with no programming / dev required.
We may get some more "advanced" input about using version control (git) and some other cool things.
