Bay Area Drupal Camp

My name is Kim Dang. I’m a senior in college at UCLA and I’ve been tinkering around with Drupal for almost a year. I’ve gone in and read quite a bit, experimented with the modules, and learned about mySQL, its language and tables through myphpadmin. I’ve volunteered to make a website for the hospital volunteering program I’m in called Care Extenders and I wish to make their website 100% better than their current, geocities one. In addition, I’m also taking part of building a website for a fraternity on campus. My major is Business Economics, I am not completely IT, but if I have a hobby, I try to pursue it as much as possible. I believe learning about Drupal is extremely fun and interesting and I’m not afraid to go places and meet people to expand my knowledge on using Drupal. I integrated CiviCRM and have been using that for four months now but I have not actively tried to do anything else besides setting up user profiles, enabling paypal/credit card payments for my users, donations, creating groups and their tags, and the mailing list. I know you can do more, so I’m looking to learn more ways to use the data. I believe learning by someone telling you what to do and how to do it is extremely faster than learning by reading through forums after forums, but forums are effective nontheless. I’m currently 20 and I’ll be able to graduate soon. I’ll be taking my CPA after spring and possibly MCAT next January. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to learn about Drupal.
