TD Cafe #013: Introducing Drupal in a Day for Computer Science Students

In this TD Cafe episode, hosts Hilmar Hallbjörnsson and Martin Anderson‑Clutz describe the Drupal in a Day initiative, which aims to introduce computer science students to the Drupal content management system through a condensed one‑day curriculum. They explain how the format was developed to fit into university schedules, covering the essential concepts of Drupal in a structured session. The discussion includes reflections on the origins of the program and how it has been received in events such as Drupal Jam and sessions held in Vienna.

The episode also covers logistical considerations and the enthusiasm around bringing new participants into the Drupal community. Hilmar and Martin outline what the course covers, how it helps students and organisations alike, and their vision for expanding the reach of Drupal in a Day. Their account highlights both the practical benefits for universities seeking to offer Drupal training and the potential for invigorating the wider Drupal community with fresh contributors.
