Read moreJune Refresh Dallas - Blending Performance with Front-End Architecture
Think web performance is all about load balancing, database indexes, and memory management? Think again. Recent research shows that 80-90% of the end-user response time is spent on the front-end.
The way you develop your site's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript makes a big impact on how long it takes your site to load. But, speeding up your site doesn't have to mean throwing out best practices. Chris Griego ( http://www.boldpx.com/ ) will show you the guidelines and techniques to combine performance with a solid front-end architecture.

Early Adopters of Drupal 6?
With the recent launch of Drupal 6, I wanted to start some dialog about transitioning to the new core. Has anyone moved their sites, or created any new sites in Drupal 6? If so, what were the snags (if any) for upgrading? I have most of my Drupal installs at 5.5+, so just curious to see if there are any early adopters out there.

Hi,
I posted this on the drupal.org paid drupallers forum and also the group's site at www.drupaljedi.com. Sorry for the multiple posts. I would really love it if someone local to Dallas area could respond who is looking for paid work on a drupal based site. Needs to be senior drupaller!
How do you do mail?
Hi,
On my Drupal host served from http://www.linode.com, I also run a mail server. I receive email for the domain, example: headcoach AT planowestlacrosse DOT org, and, I also use the SimpleNews module to send out a weekly email newsletter.
I created a pretty robust system following the instructions here:
http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
It was pretty intense work to get that all to work. How do other website admins do mail? Is there an easier way?
Cheers.
--John

Read moreDallas Area meetup tonight - Info on Presentation
Meetup is tonight at 7:30 at Mug & Mouse in Frisco.
Dustin is going to demo integrating between drupal and flash (or other component... javascript, java applet, or even a standalone desktop app) that can accept XML input over HTTP and it does whatever it needs to do. First example will be a custom portfolio module. The second, more complex, example will be a Drupal menu.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
