Speed, strength, module hooksI'm back on to give another Dojo Lesson this coming Sunday at the usual time: 11am PST / 2PM EST / 4PM Buenos Ares / 8PM Belgium/Hungary. We'll convene in #drupal-dojo, and on our Skype/VNC lesson session and spend a couple hours addressing topics of concern to up-and-coming Drupalists.

Possible topics I'm thinking about: Node access, and simple jQuery magic. I'm relatively new to both of these, but I can show you what I know and it's enough to get started. Feel free to chime in with comments.

The Drupal Dojo is a relatively new community group dedicated to spreading best-practices and helping developers who are new to the system get up to speed and become masters in their own right. We hold virtual lessons and produce practical developer documentation in both written and screencast form. If you're a newcomer looking for help in grokking the system or an old hand who's tired of being told to clone yourself, consider joining us in the Dojo!

Start: 
2007-02-18 11:00 Etc/GMT-8 - 2007-02-18 13:00 Etc/GMT-8

Hi Josh,
so glad you can do lesson 7.

I'm gone on Sunday and can't make it. Since I am very keen to learn about node access, I'd be quite happy if you did something else this week and node access the following week. But of course I realize it's going to depend on what the people who attend are interested in. Thank you.

Yes JQuery it is a good

I have to update on the first lessons but won't miss this one.

I've started using jQuery just a few weeks ago and was very impressed with how easy is to add a little of magic to forms and other parts of your Drupal sites.

Not to be a stickler

I assume that's 2-18, not 1-18... unless PST is a month and 3 hours behind my EST. If so... that could come in handy for my diabolical plan to take over the WORLD! (insert evil laugh... with a sickly cold cough.)

Look forward to the lesson as a Drupal Newbie.

Dang it

debugging jQuery.

There's a debugging plugin for jQuery. It's great for knowing what objects your working with especially with chaining functions. All you need to do is chain a ".debug()" inside anything that returns an object or use $.log(). It's kinda like var_dump or print_r but for js.

Prints directly into the console if you have Firebug installed. If not, it'll print at the bottom of the page. It's freaking sweet.!
