Drupal Payday: Getting Started with E-Commerce is a half-day workshop that introduces you to the building blocks of Drupal Commerce websites. Through several exercises and real-world examples, participants will learn strategies for configuring and running an online Drupal Commerce business.

Sign up today at http://www.larks.la/training

This class is for beginners with little or no previous experience and who would like to run an online store. Our experts from Exaltation of Larks will guide you through setting up your own Drupal Commerce website starting from the basics. (We will be using Drupal 7 Commerce.)

At the end of the day, you will walk away with the following:

  • A functioning Drupal Commerce website;
  • The ability to accept payments with credit cards via PayPal;
  • Hosting your website and a basic understanding of web servers;
  • An introduction to the user community that focuses on this technology;
  • A basic understanding of SSL security and PCI compliance as it relates to your website;
  • Connections with a qualified partner who you can turn to for support;
  • The confidence to take the next steps of customizing and adding products to your new Drupal Commerce website!

During the course of this workshop, we will also briefly touch upon some light administrative tasks such as performing backups and installing plug-ins to extend the functionality of your Drupal Commerce website.

25 or 26 January?

Hi Christefano. According to the Sandcamp page on the half-day training sessions, this session is scheduled for "Thursday January 26th." Mistake on that page? Could sew confusion..

Drupal Payday is on Friday

Posted by christefano on January 5, 2013 at 3:40am

Drupal Payday is on Friday the 25th. Can you post the URL where you saw it scheduled on the 26th? Thanks!

oops, here's the URL

Posted by crablouis on January 5, 2013 at 4:08am

oops, here's the SANDcamp 2013 training page URL:
https://www.sandcamp.org/pre-camp-training2

Thanks, I've emailed the camp

Posted by christefano on January 5, 2013 at 4:53am

Thanks, I've emailed the camp organizers. Drupal Payday is most certainly on Friday, January, 25, 2013.

I think the "Thursday January 26" text was copied from last year's website. January 26, 2012, was a Thursday.

Transportation?

Posted by fejn on January 5, 2013 at 5:20am

I'd be interested in attending the camp, but San Diego is a stretch for me transportation-wise; is anyone going to the camp from Droplabs (or around there), & ideally, returning the same day? I'd be willing to pitch for up to half the transportation cost (~gas).

If you're going I can give

Posted by christefano on January 13, 2013 at 8:53am

If you're going I can give you a ride. I'll be leaving from Droplabs on Friday morning. I hope this works out! I'm sure we have a lot to catch up on.

FYI, if for some reason it doesn't work out there's a discussion about carpooling from Los Angeles to SANDcamp at http://groups.drupal.org/node/274408

Back

Posted by fejn on January 21, 2013 at 1:22am

I noticed that you might be staying for SANDCAMP at least on Saturday; I would prefer to get back to L.A. on Fri. night if possible (if I can get to San Diego Union Station, I can probably get back there easily). talk to you later...

This works for me. I won't be

Posted by christefano on January 23, 2013 at 1:45am

This works for me. I won't be staying in San Diego and can provide a ride back up to Los Angeles on Friday night.

At the moment, it looks like

Posted by fejn on January 24, 2013 at 2:03am

At the moment, it looks like I'll be going down (& maybe coming back w/ Stew-bee); I'll see you down there & we can coordinate possible 'ride back' later -- I'll have more solid information then, & it's seeming like you might have problems of 'enough seats in the car'.

Typo on SANDcamp training page...

Posted by douglaschoffman on January 5, 2013 at 1:35pm

Hi guys, Paid training is being held at camp on Friday and Saturday, as well as one session on Thursday. The text at the top of the page was in a view header that we missed when updating the site for 2013 (unlucky 13 I guess!). All of the actual training pages and registrations pages were and are correct. I have updated the view header text with the correct details. Thanks for pointing it out to us! See you at camp.

Thanks, Doug! Would it be possible update the page at https://www.sandcamp.org/pre-camp-training2 to include the date and time for each class?

Doug, I noticed that this

Posted by christefano on January 23, 2013 at 2:38am

Doug, I noticed that this class and my proposed session on Frontend Performance are currently scheduled at the same time:

https://sandcamp.org/schedule

Can the performance session be move to either before or after the class? (I'm not sure if I'm making it down to SANDCamp on Saturday.)

Ride to SANDCAMP

Posted by fejn on January 21, 2013 at 1:13am

I just registered for the Drupal PAYDAY class at SANDCAMP 01/25/2013. I'd like to get a ride from you on Fri. down there if possible. I can meet you at Droplabs at whatever time works best for you -- name the time & I'll be there then, or better yet contact me by email. I probably won't be down at Droplabs this coming week because of crowded schedule.

Thanks,
Jeff

Ride share

Posted by vmi on January 22, 2013 at 6:50pm

Hey Jeff,
There's a discussion for ride / hotel shares to SANDcamp for people leaving from LA, here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/274408

There's also a comment from someone with potentially the same time requirements as what you're seeking, here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/274408#comment-877893

It looks like a small group

Posted by christefano on January 23, 2013 at 1:39am

It looks like a small group of us are carpooling from Droplabs in the morning. I'll post an update when I know more.

Time...

The PAYDAY class has time listed as: 1:00am - 4:00pm on the site:

Thanks! You're absolutely

Last minute

Posted by digitalcurrency on January 23, 2013 at 8:37am

It's understandable that people who've already signed up for this workshop and are registered should receive priority but if there's still room left over, would it be ok to walk-in?

Since I'm still trying to make arrangements to attend sand camp, it isn't certain that I'll be able to make it. In case I miss out on this one, do you plan to offer this again sometime?

Sorry we missed you

Posted by christefano on January 26, 2013 at 10:44pm

Sorry we missed you yesterday. Yes, we'll be offering this class again as soon as we get some feedback on yesterday's class and update our curriculum.

Walk-ins are always welcome when we have enough room for everyone at our training venue. Whenever space is sold out, we make an effort to let everyone know.

Thanks to all the attendees

Posted by christefano on January 26, 2013 at 10:40pm

Thanks to all the attendees of our Payday class yesterday! We just sent out the surveys and look forward to hearing how we’re doing.

We'll also be offering this class again as soon as we get some feedback and update our curriculum (a new version of Commerce was just released yesterday!).
