A gentle, simple introduction to the theming concepts in Drupal covering the basics:
* Wireframe to custom theme:
- Structuring your page in Drupal-speak
- Templates and files (tpl.php, template.php and .info)
- Theme function overrides
* Using contrib themes and sub-themes
* Theme development tools
* Quick intro to using jQuery (if time available)
All topics will relate to Drupal 7. Attendees must have a good working knowledge of HTML; CSS and PHP knowledge useful.
