Your Chance to Learn to Code with Drupal with Digital Echidna and Ladies Learning Code

We talk a lot about Drupal here at Digital Echidna. As London's only Drupal-exclusive development firm, we have been specializing in the Drupal Content Management system since 2010.

*** EDITOR'S NOTE: The event to which this article refers has, unfortunately, been cancelled as of Feb. 19, 2015. We apologize for any inconvenience.***

It's been a key reason behind our growth and expansion, with marquee clients across Canada and into the U.S. And this open-source technology is something we actively work to develop and support.

That is why we are thrilled to partner with Ladies Learning Code to offer a workshop on Feb. 21, 2015 -- Content Management Systems for Beginners -- An Introduction to Drupal. And we would love to see you there.

Now, you're not going to leave this event as a Drupal expert and be ready to jump right into a complex development project. But you will gain a foundational understanding of the CMS, learn about the benefits of open-source technology, create your own social network from the ground up, and have a little fun in the process.

Why should you go? Because if you're interested in web development, it's important to learn as much as you can about key systems. Drupal isn't a fad or a fly-by-night product. It has been developed and maintained by over a million developers and users globally; it powers some of the biggest and most-important websites in the world; and it is incredibly flexible and powerful.

I will be on hand, along with Scott Reeves, to introduce you to the system and walk you through the process of installing Drupal and using it to build your own task-manager web application. And you don't need to have any experience with coding or programming -- this is designed for beginners.

The event details are as follows:

• Date: Saturday, Feb. 21
• Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Location: Goodwill Industries, 255 Horton St., 3rd Floor. 
• Organizer: Ladies Learning Code
