Our August meetup will look at data collection in Drupal using the different form based facilities.
These include CCK, Webforms and Form API. We will give an overview as to how best we can create data entry forms to allow for either manual or programmatic entry of information into these forms. Also we'll be looking at the different post & pre-processing activities that can be done with this data.
Suitable for Beginner to Advanced Drupalists

Sounds good. I love the data
Sounds good.
I love the data collection and forms in Drupal topic.
Currently I am interested in creating e-forms and collecting data for input into spreadsheet packages, statistical software packages and databases.
Using Zoho Creator, experimented with Microsoft Word Office e-form and InfoPath.
So it would be good to learn how Drupal can facilitate such data collection.
