Syllabus:
This page has resources for a course I'm teaching at the Art Institute of Portland in the Web & Interactive Media Department.
The course for this quarter will focus on delving into the popular PHP Content Management System known as Drupal. Students will learn installation, theme development, popular and important modules, and how to code using Drupal’s API to program their own custom modules. They will learn to apply Drupal’s powerful set of tools and their knowledge of module coding to create sites that are dynamic, socially interactive, fully manageable, and customized.
