Who is Doug Vann
My blogsite has been up since April 2008 and I'm finaly adding a page to explain who I am...
BIO
Born 1971 and raised in Indianapolis Indiana. Graduated Warren Central 1990. Married my beautiful wife in 1996 now we have 4 children aged 8 to 13.
GEEK STORY
Got a Commodore64 in 1983. Taught myself to program in BASIC. Wrote a database app for my church in 1984 and a "what color is your parachute" app for my highschool in 1986. Took Fortran and Pascal classes in highschool.
Been busy with Drupal training
Just a quick blog post today.
All is well at the not-so-new job. I've been with www.DuoConsulting.com a little over 2 months and they have sent me to LA, Atlanta, and Ohio to deliver Drupal training.
Drupal Camp Atlanta
Two weekends ago I enjoyed the 1st ever Atlanta Drupal Camp.
Why You Need To Take Advantage Of The Lullabot Drupal Fundamentals Online Workshop
Are you ready for some incredible training that takes 12hrs across 6 weeks, and when it's done, you get to keep the audio/video files of it all? Oh yah.... You get to do this ALL from your home or office! No Traveling! :-)
http://www.lullabot.com/workshop/drupal-fundamentals-online-workshop/onl...
I'm going to continue on with my series of blogs whereby I spotlight some incredible resources to turn you into a Drupal Ninja!
How To Become A Drupal Ninja With The Lullabot DVD Series
Seriously....
I run into people all the time who want to learn how to leverage the awesome power of Drupal. Often, they want to learn as much as they can AND as quickly as possible.
There's NO reason why any one can't get exactly what they want out of Drupal. The abundance of resources is OVERWHELMING.
There is NO SHORTAGE of free screencasts and podcasts and tutorials and online recipes, etc. Most of them are good and many are even great!
However...
If you really want to get wet, you need to jump in the deep-end!

I came by the Paradise Cafe this morning and did not see a group of people. Maybe it was my nervousness but I didn't remember what you looked like and was a little hesitant to walk around and ask people who they were. Sorry about that. Hope we can have another meeting soon and this time maybe I will find you.

- Doug,
Thank you for the message and sounds great! I will be there tomorrow morning and probably be the person looking like he's lost. Thanks for the invite!
