I'm a computer science major at my local community college. I was originally a fine arts major and have moved into computer science very rapidly over the past two years. I'm now a happy linux/unix-happy nerd and have been getting more and more excited about the open source community over the past 8 months. The topics I've been finding most interesting have been Semantic Web, c++, web standards (and computer standards in general), and open source contribution.

Improving your user experience with CSS popups (menus, blocks, views, etc)

Scheepers 14 May 2010
Type:  Not planned session

Popping up menus, blocks, views and even forms can greatly reduce clutter on your site, improve user experience, simplify design as well as reclaim your oh so precious real estate above the fold.

One of the most valuable modules in site development is surely the Admin menu. Why? It reduces page loads significantly and makes almost everything easier to find - without taking up much space. Why not extend that same courtesy to your users... and animate it.

You can, thanks to the Popup module and its little helpers.

Writing Better CSS for Drupal

Maarten Verbaarschot 14 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Making style sheets easier to maintain for yourself and others, by fully understanding and leveraging Drupal’s theming system, and thinking of what will happen tomorrow.

Making style sheets easier to maintain for yourself and others, by fully understanding and leveraging Drupal’s theming system, and thinking of what will happen tomorrow.

We’ve all seen them; style sheets so large and confusing that we ended up adding new styles at the bottom of the file we happened to have open in our editor, instead of looking for a proper location. It’s unacceptable, especially when working together with multiple themers. In this session we’ll take a look at common pitfalls, ways to prevent these situations and keep our styles more sustainable.
