Advanced Theming for Drupal

Duration: 
1 Day
Summary: 

This advanced Drupal training course takes "Drupal Themers" further into the full power of the Drupal theme layer. You will discover how to take full control of your sites appearance via the use of theme preprocess functions, dynamic templates and more.

N.B. This standalone training day can be combined with the Theming Basics for Drupal day to form a comprehensive theming course. Just get in touch if you would like to attend a two day Theming course and I will schedule that for you.
