Lullabot

So, you've hacked around with Drupal and written a few modules - are you ready to take it to the next level? Are you interested in writing code that will hold up under fire? Do terms like "Form API" and "views-enabled" and grab your attention? Give us two days and we'll help get you there! (ninja mask not required)

This workshop will dive into advanced topics in Drupal development. We'll draw on our experience with large-scale, high performance Drupal sites and our extensive involvement in Drupal core development to provide you with the tools you need for success. More specifically, we'll cover:

• Advanced FormAPI topics, tricks and tips
• Important APIs such as CCK and Views integration, node access and more
• Performance tuning and optimizing your code
• Writing secure code
• Best practices for module development.
• How to contribute to Drupal and tips on getting your changes and improvements into core.
• API changes in Drupal 6, and how they'll affect your development.

Registration and continental breakfast at 9:30 am, classes go from 10 am - 5 pm each day.

Who should attend?

• Drupal developers looking to improve the depth of their API knowledge.
• Seasoned PHP developers interested in increasing their knowledge of Drupal's inner workings.
• Software architects on the fence about whether or not to go with Drupal, who want more in-depth information on how it works internally.

Attendees should be comfortable with PHP and SQL and have some experience with Drupal development. Seating is limited, so register soon.

The Lullabot team has done it again, creating a fantastic learning experience with their API workshop. The team explained some really dense material in a clear and easy to understand fashion. Can't wait to create my own modules.

The approachability of all the Lullabot staff was awesome. It was very easy talk to any one of the Lullabots, and all of them had a ton of knowledge to share.
