Drupal 10 Master Class Series - On Demand

Become a professional with Drupal even with zero knowledge of Drupal.

In this Drupal 10 training course, expert author Kamran Afzal teaches you the basic building blocks for creating a customized Drupal website. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no experience with Drupal is required.

We'll take you step-by-step through engaging video tutorials and teach you everything you need to know to succeed as a Drupal developer.

You will start by learning how to install Drupal, then jump into learning the basics of content creation. From there, I will teach you about site configuration and how to create content, blocks, and menus for a simple site. This video tutorial also covers views, text formats and visual editors, media, and how to use taxonomy. You will also learn about views exposed and contextual filters and theming. Finally, you will learn how to deploy and manage a Drupal site.

Drupal 10 is out; from now on, every new Drupal website should use the latest version of this wonderful Content Management Framework.

That means we should learn to change the front end of our Drupal 10 system - how we need it. Learning these new unique techniques that I have discovered about Drupal 10, will save you years of try and error. You learn with practical examples.

In the end - it is not as scary as it looks - simply everything evolved into something much better, much simpler, and elegant, something that is not applicable only in the context of Drupal and that is following general web development best practices.

In this course, I tried to explain the general topics most shortly and clearly possible and afterwards, I tried to illustrate everything with some simple examples. My opinion is that when you see some simple example working and when you try it by yourself - you already have the tools to investigate further and find exactly what you need to do.

Once you have completed this computer-based training course, you will be fully capable of installing, building, deploying, and maintaining your own customized Drupal websites. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
