Drupal Themes class
A new Drupal class is coming in May 2010.
The Drupal Themes class is designed to take you through the development of your own Drupal themes. You will be setting up your own design environment on your personal computers. We will examine the Drupal System and the files that make up a Drupal theme. You will learn how to make a subtheme of an original theme, use a starter theme and style it to suit your needs, and build your own theme from scratch.
Drupal 7.0 Alpha 2 released
The second alpha version of Drupal 7.x was released on February 23, 2010. This version is a test version that was released for further testing and feedback. It is important to note that this alpha version should not be used for production sites. It is expected that there will be at least one more alpha version followed by a few beta versions and at least one release candidate before Drupal 7.0 is finalized.
We will be using Drupal 6 for this class until Drupal 7.0 is finalized and all the modules we use are available.
