OSCMS 2007 Forms API presentation
Article by Jeff EatonMarch 23, 2007 - 5:31pm
The Forms API Inside Out presentation at this year's OSCMS conference was a success. We couldn't cover everything, but we got through a lot of overview and 'behind-the-scenes' magic, answering a lot of questions from folks doing cool things with the API.
Attached is a PDF of the presentation, as requsted by a number of the attendees.

Video?
Thanks for posting the PDF! Still trying to get my head around this stuff, so I imagine I'll be staring at this for awhile.
Just curious, will video be available of this presentation? Lot's of video cameras there but no mention of when (or if) they would be posted.
Not sure
...But in talking to one of the media guys, it sounds like audio of most sessions will eventually be available. Video will be available for select sessions (not FormAPI, alas!) but I'm not sure which ones fall into that list...
Edit! Scratch that -- the video is up and viewable on Google Video.
FormsAPI explained
The Drupal Forms API demystified finally in this excellent video. It's like a formsAPI tutorial! it tells everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask about the FormsAPI, it really does tell all about the FormsAPI!
