PRESENTATIONS

What I'd like to shoot for is at least one presentation of code (either module or theme) and another that's more on a site-builder/configurer topic. Presos should be 20-30 minutes, which allows for Q&A time. Anyway, volunteer below.

  1. Please join my meeting, Tuesday, September 21 at 07:00 PM EDT.

JQuery

BlackCatWeb's picture

Drupal ships with JQuery, and I'm a big fan. Would an introductory discussion of JQuery be a good subject to tackle as a presentation?

jQuery sounds like a great subject!

If you're volunteering to present, consider yourself on the schedule!

Any other takers for the remaining preso slot??

JQuery it is!

BlackCatWeb's picture

I will plan on 20-30 minutes on JQuery in Drupal. Given the time constraints, the subjects will be high-level.

Topics I'm planning:

  • What is JQuery?
  • Brief background on Javascript
  • JQuery's main features
  • JQuery in Drupal
  • Example #1: JQuery in a theme
  • Example #2: JQuery in the Form API

If anyone has a suggestion or request, let me know.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend tonight as planned -- school event for teenage son I didn't count on. Hope to see everyone next month. -- Darla

I am really bummed that I won't be able to attend my first meeting =( I do look forward to eventually meeting some of you.

Hold on. . . .

Does that include the possibility of attending virtually, via GoToMeeting?

Instructions are here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/92284

Thank you!

Use the entrance on Cascade Drive...

fending's picture

When finding your way into the building tonight, there are multiple entrances. Please use the one on Cascade Drive (from the street itself). CR is on the 2nd floor right up the stairs.

And if you're arriving close to 7pm, remember that the door will be locked -- as opposed to using the "dial to get in" box on the wall (which rings the owner, who won't be here), please use the number hanging from inside the door... it'll ring straight to me (or somebody else in the room) and somebody will run down & let you in.

I'm sorry to hear we've got a few cancels for tonight! I'm looking forward to seeing some new faces and hearing Jim's jQuery preso. We really should start to record these... ;)

stay at home
