We’re happy to announce that Exaltation of Larks is sponsoring, co-organizing and offering pre-camp training at DrupalCamp LA this July 27-29th. We hope that you join us!

Pre-Camp Training

The class that we’re offering is all about Drupal Best Practices, and it’s being offered together with Chapter Three on July 27th at 60% off our usual price. This is one of our most popular classes and is one of our favorites, too.

If you’ve taken one of our previous paid classes, you can use coupon code ALUMNI to get an additional 10% off! (In order to use this code, you’ll need to be logged in with your existing account at https://www.larks.la/training)

You don’t need to be registered for DrupalCamp LA to take our class, but why not sign up at http://2012.drupalcampla.com/user/register today? This gives the conference organizers an accurate headcount, and makes it easy for you to pick out your sessions and add your comments to the session proposals.

Presenting at DrupalCamp LA

Speaking of sessions, all of our session proposals were accepted this year and here’s what we’re presenting:

• Steve Rifkin is kicking things off with other camp organizers with a DrupalCamp Intro for Newbies
• Christefano Reyes is presenting on front-end performance, speaking on a panel about running a Drupal business, and is on another panel about how to start a project on Drupal.org
• Joe Chellman is presenting the top modules for Drupal 7
• Cary Gordon is demonstrating how to develop locally with virtual machines and is speaking about supporting the Drupal Association
• Steve Rifkin and Craig McEldowney are presenting on Amazon Web Services as well as showing off Chef Opscode for multi-tier hosting and infrastructure

We’ll also be leading BoF (birds of a feather) sessions on coworking and timebanking, which are two topics we’re eager to share and hear from others about.

Meanwhile, several of our partners, including Chapter Three, Acquia and Build a Module, are also represented at DrupalCamp LA this year:

• Chapter Three is presenting on Maintaining a Drupal Sit Over the Long Term and Level-Up: For Beginning Themers and Site Builders
