Curious whether this course makes sense right now? Hear what a few of our recent students have said:

• "If you're looking for a hands-on approach to demystify Drupal programming that's led by top notch, empathetic instructors, this course is for you."
• "This course was truly worth the time and financial investment. A lot of material was covered, but there was a great amount of feedback to help with the learning process. The collaboration with classmates was a bonus as well."
• "Ashraf is the most patient and incredible instructor. He has a great way of explaining complex topics and his patience with debugging is impressive."
• "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."
• "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."
• "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!"
• "Ashraf is an awesome instructor who doesn't make anyone feel like they asked "dumb" question. His teaching style makes for a very comfortable learning environment. He truly wants his students to succeed."
• "After last class, I was able to go into our site and start cleaning [it] up. I realized a lot of it was a mess, but I was able to simplify a few things with some of the topics we talked about."
• "Ashraf is a master instructor, he is got huge depth of knowledge on Drupal platform. Lynda is so helpful. She is always ever ready to help out learners."
• "Ashraf Abed and Lynda Santiago were amazing Drupal Educators whom ensured all major elements for working with Drupal was covered/discussed. Assisting outside of normal class hours, even late into the night was spot on. Gotta Love It!"
• “I have found working on our classwork/homework and attending classes has provided me with a lot of peace, stability, and socialization in a crazy time where I'm isolated while working from home”
• "I REALLY felt comfortable with this group of students and instructors. Being older and female with a non-computer educational background, I have always been technically inclined, and frequently have felt I did not belong when attending [...] The kindness and patience of the instructors responding to even the very basic questions reassured me that this is a community I can be part of, and I did not have this confidence in myself at the start of this semester. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
• "Ashraf is knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient. He is great at explaining technical information to the newest of newbies while keeping the content engaging for the more experienced students."
