If you aren't using Context yet, you should be. We'll cover the normal usages of Context and related modules, and discuss modules like Views Arg Context, Context: Menu Block, Context Reaction: Theme, Context HTTP Headers, and others... You'll learn something, no matter much you use context now, about new ways to use context in your drupal sites.

What is Context?
Context allows you to manage contextual conditions and reactions for different portions of your site. You can think of each context as representing a "section" of your site. For each context, you can choose the conditions that trigger this context to be active and choose different aspects of Drupal that should react to this active context.

do you have slides? missed your session and trying to figger out the differences between Context and Rules (which I use)

I sort of understand that the Context rules are applied in a "context" in a portion of the site, whereas Rules is triggered by an action...

I also understand that context can be used with Rules...

No slides... but video
