About the module development boot camp

What's this "boot camp", you ask? In case you didn't apply or go to the last one, it was a series of 13 sessions (or 14, depending on who you ask) dedicated to teaching the fundamental PHP and Drupal API knowledge needed to become a Drupal module developer. Some of the modules the boot camp attendees finished and contributed to Drupal.org include:

   Password Backup & Restore
   https://drupal.org/sandbox/digitalroots/2153457

   Librivox Search
   https://drupal.org/sandbox/pkosenko/2122647

   mlgeneratev2
   https://drupal.org/sandbox/fejn/2183185

   Cron Key
   https://drupal.org/cron_key

The boot camp was free and was for the community, by the community. That means it was entirely volunteer-run! Instructors were Ron Golan, Stew Pringle and myself. Both Droplabs and Exaltation of Larks were sponsors of the boot camp and provided the venue space, complimentary Droplabs memberships and supplemental instruction.
