Drupal Powered E-commerce
Join the Drupal e-commerce professionals in Copenhagen for an entire day of hands-on training covering everything you need to start selling on Drupal. We will introduce to two e-commerce systems for Drupal, Ubercart for Drupal 6 and Drupal Commerce in development for Drupal 7. We will then spend a majority of the day working through building a community swag store together on Drupal 6 with Ubercart. By the end of the day, students will be equipped with the knowledge to build robust, easily administered e-commerce sites. Attendees should understand the basics of Drupal site building and module installation beforehand, and exposure to other major contributed modules like Views and CCK is a plus.
