drupal

This session will describe experiences over the last year using Drupal and Ubercart for galileoscope.org, a not-for-profit e-commerce site which processed over 25,000 orders in its first year. We discuss the site’s planning, implementation, and evolution, as well as challenged faced, lessons learned, and future directions.

In this demonstration, we'll go from a Photoshop image to a working drupal theme in 60 minutes. We'll briefly discuss wireframing and prototyping and how Drupal can help with them, and we'll make a working theme using the Zen theme and the Blueprint CSS framework.

Drupal 7 is coming soon! (Dries Buytaert, Drupal project lead, said at DrupalCon SF that it should arrive between early June and Mid-September.) Haven’t had chances to play around with it yet? Well come along and I'll take you on a ride! I'll focus on the major additions like custom fields being added to core, great improvements in the file system, and some dramatic changes in the user interface. I’ll also cover what you can do to ease pain to D7 on a new D6 site you are developing now.
