Alas,

Many people have pinged, e-mailed, and verbally abused me (in a modest way) to give 'em some tips, tricks and trade secrets that I hesitantly share to anyone deemed unworthy of my attention hwahaha.

Well I wouldn't consider them secrets since the tools and techniques are just there laying around.

So in lieu to the demand, I'm giving a free training session on "Quick and Easy Drupal development". Whether you're a crazy bun, or just someone who loves to travel from one spot to another (like me!), we'll make sure that you get to do webdev magic real soon.

Our last event was such a huge success...let's have another one for 2009!

Hi! Just want to share this to everyone. I don't know if this can be considered a lesson here but it sure was a lesson to me. Drupal has its own sequence for adding new entries (like menus, nodes, terms, vocabularies, and etc...). Some of its core module triggers 'db_next_id' to provide the next key before inserting a new record. In some cases, it is not really advisable to just do a backdoor insert as it might screw up the current sequence. Make sure to always check the 'sequences' table before doing some magic :P Just a warning!

Hi all,

The Computer Professionals' Union (www.cp-union.com) and Collectivetech.org is organizing another Codesprint. This time we will focus on module development.

Tentatively we are scheduling this event on Sept 14, 2nd Sunday of September. The Kubo will again be the venue. This will be part of Software Freedom Tour of CPU.

We are still organizing topics for the day. So if you already have something in mind, email rbahaguejr [at] gmail [dot] com.
