Drupalcamp Vancouver: jQuery for Designers and Drupal Theming

May 06/2008 Tags

So Drupalcamp Vancouver is right around the corner and I'm sitting here preparing for 2 of my sessions: Designers Guide to jQuery and Drupal Theming. Both sessions are focused towards beginners as well as designers, but as always, all are welcome to attend and participate in discussion.

The jQuery session will be back-to-back with the Developers Guide to jQuery lead by a collegue of mine, Katherine Bailey. I will be covering the very basics of jQuery for web designers who are interested in utilizing the potential of jQuery but are over-come by the learning curve of having to learn a programming language. Believe me, it's easy! I'll also be doing a live tutorial as well as some simple implementations of jQuery animations within Drupal.

Our Drupal Theming session, lead by Mark Yuasa and myself (and maybe Hubert), will be an overview of taking a design to a functioning drupal theme. If you happened to miss our theming session in January and wanted to attend, this will be the one to be at.

Hope to see some new faces and meet new people! See you then.

Update:

Here's my post on the slides from this presentation. Please leave comments and questions in that post and not this one.

Drupalcon 2008: Boston!

Feb 06/2008 Tags

Boston Drupalcon 2008So I'm heading off to Boston for my first Drupalcon and large international conference, Drupalcon 2008. I'm pretty excited and nervous, minus the fact that I haven't flown on a plane since i was 2! I'll be traveling with some of my fellow peers at Raincity Studios. Other than the copious amounts of t-shirt and swag that will be thrown around at the conference (woot! won't have to go shopping for a while!), I'm quite thrilled to be able to participate and hopefully converse with some of the leading contributors from the Drupal project.
