Developer

This session will introduce you to the wonderful and powerful tool of working from a *nix command line interface (CLI) instead of using a GUI (pointy-clicky). This is targeted at folks who've never opened a terminal before, but will cover a number of tips and tricks along the way. We'll even show you how Windows users can get the same CLI that Linux and Mac users use, so you can use it too!

Main points we'll cover:
- Huh? What is this thing? How do I get one?
- Moving around (both locally and accessing a remote server)
- Creating and editing files
- Searching

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? For every site we create there are clients who must use it, many don't know a node from a block. After this session, you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.

Yes, you can! With three basic files, a clever module name, and a basic understanding of Drupal hooks, we'll create a simple module. If you know what a PHP variable and function is but have never done custom Drupal development - this session is for you. We'll cover the most important thing to know: where to look it up!

We may cover (depending on time and how much fun we are having):

• The 3 basic files
• A few basic hooks
• Handy function calls you'll use often
• A database query
• Forms
• A few fun facts and a pop quiz

This is a friendly programming introduction for people new to coding. We'll take a "Physics for Poets" approach to basic PHP concepts like variables, conditionals, and functions. You'll write a little bit of code, speak a little geek, laugh a little, and start down the addictive path of programming logic.
