User group meeting

The High Desert Drupal group meets the first Wednesday of every month. This local group is a nice place for people to learn and talk about Drupal, a world popular content management system (CMS). We also talk about web development in general, covering all aspects from planning, design, development, and maintaining a web site. RSVP is not required and attendance is free. Tell all your friends!

What are we going to talk about?

FeedAPI

FeedAPI aggregates feeds on a Drupal website by generating light weight items or nodes from feeds. It provides a straightforward configuration for most use cases and is extensible through an API. FeedAPI integrates with OG (but does not require it). --FeedAPI

This month Kevin Herrington from ActiveLAMP will talk to us about the FeedAPI module. We'll learn what it does and what it's used for. He'll then show us a custom utility module that he wrote that traces the theme functions and template files that HTML markup comes from.

After the presentation we'll open up the floor to the community where anyone can ask questions, show off the stuff they've been working on, or anything else that is worth talking about. Hope to see you there, and tell your friends.

Where are we meeting?

We are meeting in the McDonalds conference room at the Apple Valley McDonalds on the corner of Apple Valley Rd and Bear Valley Rd. The room seats up to 49 people and is free to use.

If you plan on attending, sign up for an account on this site and then click the "Sign Up" button below to let us know you're coming. You DO NOT have to sign up on this site to attend, you can just show up. If you do sign up, you'll be emailed a reminder for the meeting on one day before the meeting.

Feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions.

Very good meetup this month!

The meetup was awesome. Kevin did a great job explaining the FeedAPI and how you can create your own parsers and mappers in a custom module. We also got to geek out quite a bit talking about Calais, the Drupal theme system, template files, preprocess functions, and how the devel_themer module does what it does by modifying the theme registry. Very good meetup this month!
