THE MEETING
Drupal Commerce is a powerful set of modules written by Commerce Guys. It is built on Drupal 7′s core functionality as well as some contrib modules. This year Marek Gimza, working with our DrupalCamp Atlanta 2013 website team, used the Drupal Commerce module to implement the DCA Attendees Registration Page. https://www.drupalcampatlanta.com/community

For our November program, Marek Gimza will lead a workshop geared for non-coders, introducing the Commerce Module and demonstrating basic functionality such as triggers and checkout. We'll leave the door open for a future session for coders on "hide/show results".

SPEAKER BIO
Our workshop leader, Marek Gimza, has over 20 years experience developing WEB-based and non-WEB-based tools/applications that support Build/Configuration/Release Management activities for large corporate enterprises within the R&D Sector. As most customers have had different requirements, Marek has had to choose the appropriate technology and language that would be most suitable for the customer and their product.
