3 Days of Comprehensive Joomla! Training

This year, we've shifted to all 90-minute learning sessions (up from 60 minutes); sessions now span 3 full days (was 2 days); expanded to 10 learning sessions (was 8); and added a Meetup Monday Night, specifically for the Joomla! Community to come together.

With over 15 million downloads, Joomla! (or "Joomla") continues to be one of the most prolific Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. With the advent of version 1.5 (and soon, 1.6), many improvements have made Joomla even easier to install, set-up and deploy and administratrate; however, with the sheer breadth of capabilities in Joomla alone, there's still a rather steep learning curve.

Boldly Going Where No CMS Has Gone Before: Drupal 7.0

In the year 2000, then college student Dries Buytaert created an open source software system to help manage websites. Called "Drupal," Dries and a large core team of creators now has earned a massive, passionate community following, with millions in venture funding to boot.

Today, Drupal has grown to become one of the most popular CMS software systems available. A "developers' content management sytem," you'll find Drupal powering sites for small business, education, government and some mighty enterprise sites as well; not to mention a certain white house on Pennsylvania Avenue.
