Here's what a graduate from the most recent semester had to say:
"I really loved learning from Ashraf. He explained concepts clearly, broke down complex topics into approachable steps, and always connected theory to practical examples. Even through recordings, his teaching style was engaging and easy to follow. Ashraf’s patience and depth of Drupal knowledge made the course both enjoyable and effective."

What two other students have said:

• A beginner: "I am so glad that I took the course. I get to work from home and earn a good living. It is everything I hoped for and more!"
• An experienced dev: "It's great to finally get to learn the why's of why I was doing certain things/running commands instead of just doing rote execution. Starting to feel more confident already."

Join us to plan MidCamp 2025!!!!!

Why come?
Because we value giving back to the Drupal community and this is one way you can do that.

What should I expect?
That's mostly up to you -- there are a lot of roles and skill sets needed to put on a conference like MidCamp. Regardless of what you do day-to-day, you can find a fit.

What if I don't live in Chicago?
That's OK! The planning of things is done remotely. A good portion of the planning team doesn't live in or near Chicago. People join because they care about Drupal and want to help make MidCamp happen.

Here's what a graduate from the most recent semester had to say:
"If you want to learn Drupal, I can't say enough about Debugacademy. All of the other courses I've taken just gloss over what you need to learn to be a real Drupal developer (or just introduce concepts without putting the pieces together). Debugacademy starts with the basics and by the time you're done you know more than you ever thought you would and have the confidence to become an actual developer. This course is worth every single second and I can't thank Ashraf and his team enough."

• An experienced dev: "It's great to finally get to learn the why's of why I was doing certain things/running commands instead of just doing rote execution. Starting to feel more confident already."

"This is the course to take if you're looking to move from intermediate to advanced Drupal knowledge. The tools and real life examples alone are worth the price."

"This course is time and money well spent. It provides you with practical information to help you make more informed data/content modeling decisions."

"Extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. The instructor (Ashraf) has a very good understanding of the Drupal ecosystem and was able to answer all questions effortlessly."
