Frameworks
Hey all,
I'm curious as to what the most popular JS framework is amongst us. I've read quite a bit about Angular and Backbone, but I'm wondering which could prove to be most useful in or out of Drupal. Any comments on your own experience with one of these (or others) would be most welcome.
I know there are separate groups dedicated to frameworks but I want to try to get a discussion going here in Albany. Headless Drupal 8 is becoming a popular topic, which I believe is Angular, but I want to focus more on what I can do now.
Thanks to all in advance,
Jeff

Read moreCapital District Connect Social Drupal Gathering
Good afternoon,
I'm planning to post a Drupal event for the evening of July 28th (around 5:30 pm). Since it's the summer time, I was thinking it could be a slight twist on the usual Capital District Nosh and Connect (which we've been having monthly for the last 8 months - yay!). Instead of a set agenda I thought we might meet for some socializing and casual Drupal conversation in an outdoor setting.
Read moreD7 Google Maps
Hello all,
I'm working on a Google Map that is rendered via a custom module's theme() implementation. The problem I'm running into is being able to dynamically add / remove / update markers on the map based on the values from a custom form (built with FAPI). That is, without reloading the page - just by targeting the map in a callback.

Best Design-Oriented Themes
Hi all,
Hoping to get your expert opinions when it comes to off-the-shelf Drupal themes. My understanding is that Zen is considered a pretty good bare bones theme to start, but that it doesn't come with a ton of built-in design elements.
Would any of you have one or two themes you'd recommend to someone who is looking for something prebuilt with design in mind?
Thanks!

Also, since many of us will have attended NYC Camp (April 10-13) we could take some time to share our experiences and cool discoveries.
