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."

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."

Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue (MAGSR.org), has been running on a D7 site since about 2015. One of the two people who built it (me) is still around. Too bad it's not the other guy. He really knew what he was doing!

It is probably past time to upgrade to D9. Unfortunately, my Drupal skills are not up to the task of a solo upgrade.

Good morning!

Our Drupal Architect series is back to teach you how to make the right long-term architectural decisions, as well as how to get the most out of Drupal's modern symfony-based architecture.

This series begins on March 16th, and includes all five of the 2.5-hour Drupal Architect classes. By signing up for the full Drupal Architect series you automatically receive a total of 20% off!

The Architect Series: https://debugacademy.com/event/become-drupal-architect-series-5-classes/...

We'll address topics such as performance, caching, security, data structure, writing maintainable OOP code, dependency injection, testing, and much more.

Here's what people who took the architect series had to say:
"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."

"Ashraf has deep knowledge of Drupal and it comes out in the examples he provides. He's a clear communicator, and I trusted him to guide us in the right direction. "

Hello DC Drupalers
Are there any companies here who are in the 8(a) program? My company is looking at one or more opportunities that are in the 8(a) set aside and would like to partner with a small business with Drupal and accessibility/usability experience. Being local to DC isn't crucial, but must be in the 8(a) program.

Thanks in advance!
