Hey everyone,
In the interest of continuing education, I wanted to make sure you were all aware of the free webinars put on by Acquia. Acquia is a commercial open source software company providing products, services, and technical support for Drupal.
Acquia is a commercial company and has paid services, but their free webinars are often quite useful. There is a webinar tomorrow (June 3rd) titled Drupal Site Hosting and Management: Acquia Case Studies from the Frontlines. A much more interesting and useful sounding webinar is scheduled for June 10th: Views Askew: Using the Many Forms of Drupal Views.
From their webinar description:
The Views module is undoubtedly one of the most powerful tools in a Drupal site-builder’s arsenal. It empowers the user with a smart query builder which can be used to gather lists of users, comments, nodes (and revisions), files and taxonomy terms from a Drupal site - displaying them in ways only limited by the imagination of the site owner.
In this one hour Webinar, you’ll learn:
- What is Views? What is the Views UI?
- Where to find the documentation for Views and helpful links
- How to use Views to display simple lists of content
- The many forms of Views, by example
- How to leverage Views as a Data Provider
As was mentioned in last night's meeting, Views (along with CCK) is one of the most important and frequently-used contributed modules with Drupal.
There is also a 90 Minute Introduction to the Fusion Theming Framework for Drupal on June 17th.
For more information on Acquia's webinars, or to register, please visit http://acquia.com/webinars. They also have a great resource of pre-recorded webinars which you can watch on-demand at http://acquia.com/resources/recorded_webinars.
Hoping these can fill that void in your life that "Lost" used to fix,
Scott
