We are happy to inform that, we have completed the the first phase of the project on creating a standardized Drupal curriculum for Drupal companies as planned. We have compiled and published our Drupal training curriculum on the groups.drupal.org wiki under the Curriculum and Training group. We are now looking to get feedback from other Drupal companies and Drupal developers on the curriculum and the training materials.

As one of the largest exclusive Drupal agencies in India and having trained close to 200 employees over its 10 year history we are probably one of the very few Drupal firms in India in a position to take this effort that could in turn help a lot of other Drupal companies. We are looking to compile and publish our Drupal Training Curriculum in an effort to come up with a standard approach towards training developers in Drupal companies. We are looking to complete this exercise by March 31, 2016 and will be publishing the learning objectives, syllabus and curriculum under GFDL license.
Lines of code is typically indicative of effort that goes towards software development. So how do you count lines of code in your PHP application (or for that matter any specific types of files in any application). You can't manually open and count files, that would be a big waste of time. The *nix shell has a powerful set of tools that can help you count lines without having to do it manually.
find . -name "*.php" | xargs wc -l | awk '{print $1}' | awk '{total = total + $1}END{print total}'
Zyxware conducted a session on "Introduction to Moodle" at LBS Institute of Technology for Women, Trivandrum on 2013-11-01. The session was taken for the faculty at the college to help them build an understanding of Moodle as they gear to start using Moodle as a teaching platform at the college.
The training session covered
Zyxware recently conducted a session on GIMP for dentists. The workshop was conducted on the 17th of December, 2012. This was as part of a workshop organised by Indian Dental Association for their members on photography and photo editing. Zyxware conducted a 4 hour session on photo editing using GIMP, a Free Software Tool. Photography and photo editing are important skills for the modern day dentist given the requirements of documentation and research and communication with patients. Recognising the need for training for dentists in these areas, the IDA has taken an important step by organising this workshop. That they have chosen Free Software Tools like GIMP is commendable.
