Name: IN-DEPTH DRUPAL: ARCHITECTURE AND DEBUGGING
Start: 2008-01-15T19:00:00-05:00
End: 2008-01-15T22:00:00-05:00
Location: 5 Seasons Brewing Company

Mike Schinkel of NewClarity and Atlanta Web Entrepreneurs will be killing two birds with one stone by demonstrating:

1.) The underlying architecture of Drupal including CCK and Views, and
2.) How to debug Drupal 5.x using PhpED from NuSphere.

Mike will cover how Drupal menus, blocks, and URL aliases work, how Drupal's "hook" system works in modules, how themes are used by Drupal, and Mike will also provide a high-level overview of building modules in Drupal. He will demonstrate all of these aspects by literally tracing through a basic Drupal application using the PhpIDE debugger. Mike will provide handouts for the presentation with diagrams for the PHP-challenged so that everyone can follow along.

Of course this will be an intermediate to advanced-level presentation for people without programming skills, and a beginner-to-intermediate level presentation for those with programming skills. While PHP-level programmers will get the most out of the presentation it will still have great value for non-programming Drupal admins. Even if you don't ever plan to program in PHP, knowing a little bit about Drupal "under the covers" can make it much easier to build Drupal application and add 3rd party modules.

Prerequisites for the 7pm meetup including having actually installed and configured a basic Drupal 5.x system and having enduser-admin understanding of Content, Content Types, Menus, Blocks, Themes, and URL Aliases as well as having installed and configured CCK and Views.
