"Drupal makes me hAPI" a talk by Forest Mars and Jingsheng Wang

On Wednesday March 17, Forest Mars and Jingsheng Wang
will give a presentation to the New York Linux Users Group titled

                    "Drupal makes me hAPI: Open
               Source Social Publishing Architecture"

This talk will cover the Drupal framework with an emphasis on architecture
and programming patterns, while touching on a number of other topics such as
performance tuning, hosting integration and REST, as well as considering the
underlying reasons for Drupal's wide-ranging success; all served up with a
healthy smathering of awesome sauce.

The presentation will also include a short real world case study of a
Drupal SaaS implementation "the BeerCloud" (an Android and iPhone
application which uses Drupal as a backend)

The talk is expected to be streamed live at http://mnntv.org/drupalcast
(although that is certainly no excuse for not attending in person) and
will be followed by the traditional Stammtisch.
