Did something go wrong with your coding recently? And where did you put the blame when that happened? If you missed the target, you may want to learn what Mozart, Perl, PHP, MySQL, and Java have in common.
If you don't know them, they will hurt you. No matter how expert you are, there are holes in your knowledge, and when things go wrong you usually blame what you know the least. So the culprit could be that database, the regular expression engine, the XML parser, the thread engine. What if the problem is between the chair and the keyboard instead?
This talk will give you some general insight on the art of software development, encouraging users to rant less and improve their own practice.

You know how to use Drupal. You know how to write code, build a theme, and SEO a site. But do you know how to teach others to use Drupal?

OpenLayers is a powerful Javascript library to do web mapping with. Combined with Drupal, OpenLayers provides a solid base for creating maps on your Drupal site and integrating Drupal structures. This session will demo the module and talk about the status and direction of the module.
Web mapping is all the rage these days, and for good reason. Mapping allows users to explore data in a more meaningful and enjoyable way. Combining the power of geo-coded content and mapping, a site's content can come to life in ways that traditional sites cannot offer.
