Course Description
In this course, Rod takes you step by step through the process of understanding and building Drupal themes. You'll learn how to modify existing themes, build your own and use base themes to speed up your work.Note: this class is still perfectly valid, but we do have a similar and updated class: "How to Create Layouts and Themes in Drupal 7".
Rod holds two masters degrees and has been training people how to do "things" for over 25 years. Originally from Australia, he grew up in Canada and now resides just outside Cincinnati, Ohio. He has worked in both the non-profit and for-profit worlds, in small companies and large corporations.
His extensive open source experience includes WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Moodle and he really knows how to help you get the most out of the system you chose.
Rod plays ice hockey a couple of times a week and rides his Goldwing motorcycle pretty much everywhere he can.
