Training
Joe has worked as a trainer in computer literacy as far back as 1996, more recently giving presentations on Drupal, WordPress, and JavaScript in Los Angeles and the surrounding area at conferences and via local meetup groups like LA Drupal, Advanced WordPress LA, SoCalWP. He enjoys teaching quite a bit. If you're interested in learning more about software of nearly any kind, or other aspects of working on the internet, please get in touch.

Joe has many training videos available with lynda.com (and LinkedIn Learning), O'Reilly, PeachPit, and video2brain.
