Training beginners on Drupal

Assuming a new member is coming on the team and you need to educate her/him so she/he can use Drupal. Before starting it is a good idea to check the official, community supported, Drupal.org User Guide. It is mirrored by drupalize.me and is availalbe as a PDF too. It is well organised and gets updated, something which is not true for online-videos.

Training schedule

These are the proposed steps for (Drupal only) onboarding with approximately time needed.

  • Study on Drupalize.me or similar online guide: 2 week
  • Watch internal howto videos (how to work with the other members, company tools etc): 3 days
  • Study internal documentation: 2 days
  • Install all the development tools needed: 2 days
  • Install Drupal locally, play with modules and functionality: 2 days
  • Get known to your internal Mentor (a senior that has the responsibility for you): 1 day

After the initial training period (4 week) you can start as an assistant developer on a simple project with easy tasks.

Useful processes

  • Pair programming
  • Live coding
  • Snippet sharing
