There is a significant difference when you stand up in front of two hundred people to give a single presentation or a lecture, and when you stand up in front of ten trainees, for giving a three months course. Especially an ICT course, where much of the time you have to be clicking on the right place and not making mistakes, because people use to panic, when noticing red alert messages. This latter, compared to the first, feels more like a relationship - long lasting, well planned, with predicted results. And actually, a long lasting knowledge that has to come out of all that.

Monday was the first day of our Drupal Course, organised by Studio XX and given by myself. The first class is always a big question mark, since there are always surprises. This time, there was the uncertainty about the level of knowledge on Drupal by the participants, the language (English or French), the expectations. It is a question mark because it takes the first course to see the speed of learning of the participants and the time it takes for solving technical problems. This way, you know how to program the next sessions.

So, just a couple of details:

• the course is having this fancy nameDynamic Website Conception with Drupal 6, and is taking place at Studio XX lab.

Studio XX is organising a Drupal 10 weeks training.

Website installation and customization using Drupal.

Tuesdays 6 – 9 P.M. November 3 to December 15 and January 12 to 26, 2010.

Why make a static website that requires expensive tools when you can make a dynamic one using online open source software!? In this workshop dynamic websites made with web-based applications called content-management systems (CMS) will be introduced and explained. Participants will learn to install customize and style an easy to update and maintain website using Drupal, a well-known Open Source software.
