PHP Skills for Drupal

Duration: 
2 Days
Summary: 

Drupal is built on PHP and relies on a unique combination of procedural and some OOP practices. An understanding of PHP is required for the development of both Drupal modules and for advanced theming. This two day PHP training course (tailored to Drupal) is designed very carefully to provide the essential PHP coding skills for those wanting to develop custom modules for Drupal (or tackle advanced theming) - but - who do not have the necessary PHP skills. After two focused and intensive days training you will be familiar with all the key aspects of PHP - particularly those used extensively in Drupal.

N.B. This 2 day course acts as a gateway course/prerequisite for non programmers to the 2 day "Drupal Module Development" course (attending these two days and the two day "Drupal Module Development" course will equip attendees with the necessary core skills to start building their own custom Drupal modules).
