Picking up where the Drupal Theming Basics video lets off, the Lullabot Learning Series continues with an in-depth look at the advanced features of Drupal’s theming system.

You’ll learn how to modify and add variables sent to Drupal’s template files and how to use the Theme Developer Tool to simplify the task of working with and navigating Drupal’s complex theme system.

The video includes a crash course through PHP, then dives into advanced theming concepts with practical examples such as: how to theme forms, how to cleanly expose information to the theme system, and how to empower your site administrators by making certain parts of the theme available to them for customization.
