While this formative experience requires a significant amount of effort, you will save a considerable amount of time when compared to studying Drupal on your own.

The main aim of the Expert in Drupal 7 course is to train the student for the implementation of professional Websites with Drupal. To reach out this objective, these secondary objectives must be achieved:

• Knowing Drupal architecture in depth. Knowing Drupal architecture at the programming level is essential in understanding how the modules interact with the system, as well as developing modules that adapt to the core and the rest of the installed modules on a Website in a proper manner.
• Developers’ tools. We will study some of the programming tools for modules and system administration tools with the aim of speeding up the work with Drupal.
• Modules Programming. When the available modules are not enough to achieve the functional requirements of our project, we will need to implement new modules. We go into greater depth in the API of Drupal and the Drupal programming style to develop professional modules.
• Learn how to contribute to the community. The Drupal success would not have been possible if it did not have thousands of enthusiasts, users and developers, who have shared their developments, knowledge and experiences with the community. This is why believe that, wherever possible, we must contribute to the community, whether sharing and maintaining developed modules, reporting bugs and solutions, and helping other users.

Through this course you will be able to develop new functionalities that allow adapting a Website to the required functional requirements.

Once finished you will be trained to deal with, both individually and in team, the design and implementation of complex Websites. Acquired training will be helpful in getting you into the labor market, improving in your job or even undertaking your own project based on web technologies.
