The WGBH.org Development Blog

Filed by Phil at 10:15 am under Drupalcon, Views

I’ve been up to my eyes, ears, nose and throat building out TV schedule related views. Things are moving along, I’ve got a nice working version of our Programs A-Z list and the daily schedules by channel. None of this involves any real theming work just yet; I’m focusing on functionality first. I’ll give more details on these pages next week.

Of more immediate concern, Drupalcon Boston is coming up next week and Pete and I will be attending, as will several others from WGBH. We’re looking forward to learning lots of Druaplish stuff, meeting folks and, of course, drinking free coffee. I mean, there is going to be free coffee, right?

Anyhow, there are lots of excellent sessions planned, across several different tracks. The full session list is here.

I’ll be spending most of time at the Site Building and Design & User Experience tracks. Here are some of the sessions that I’m planning to attend. If you see me there be sure to say hello.

• The Road from Newbie to Ninja: Drupal Tools and Techniques
• Performance tuning and optimization of high traffic Drupal sites
• Drupalcon Tutorial: Best practices in development environments, staging,
  build management, and production environments
• Theming with the Theme Developer module
• Drupal Security - Best Practices and Process Discussion
• Creating custom workflows for Drupal applications - taking advantage of core hooks and context
• Scalable Theming: Theming for 100s of node types, CCK fields and views

I hope to see you there! I also hope there are free donuts.
