Dojo Lesson #3 -- NodeAPI
Our third lesson debuts the new (and hopefully steady) time for my trainings, Sundays at 11am PST (my local timezone). This will also be my first lesson from "home base," which should be good in terms of increased audio quality and preparation/togetherness on my part. The day is Sunday the 14th, and the time translates into:
Vancouver: 11AM
New York: 2:00 PM
Buenos Ares: 4:00 PM
Belgum/Hungary: 8:00 PM
Join us in #drupal-dojo on IRC, and on skype #99001110017393450. You can also see my screen here.
The content of this lesson will be NodeAPI. Pre-reading documentation below the jump.

EC maintainer seeks: non-smoker, likes bushwalking and ...
Hi there
I'm trying to locate developers (any skill level is ok) who have the same E-Commerce focus that I do. The idea is that I am available for feedback, reviews, advice, escalation, and even tuition. Yes, tuition, which means I'm happy for this to be a mentor arrangement (which is why I've posted to Dojo).
The problem with developing for E-Commerce is a) we are not giving out CVS access and b) patches in the queue can be painfully slow to commit. We already have 5 maintainers. So the challenge is to have patches committed promptly by one of the maintainers. I can do this, as long as the patches are for areas that I am familiar with.

The Drupal Dojo will convene again this Thursday at 8pm EST (GMT -5). We will gather in #drupal-dojo, get on a worldwide Skypecast and fire up an improved screen-sharing application to do our lesson. We will also take time to debrief the work so far, talk about what we'd like to do going forward, and answer misc questions about the group and about Drupal.
The Lesson Plan
- Sound Check: make sure everyone can get on Skype and is in IRC
- Debrief: talk about how we've been doing, also about moving the regular lesson time to Sunday and/or starting other times
- Drupal Coding Standards: what they are; why they matter
- Keeping Your Code Clean: where to put stuff; how not to kludge
- Keeping Your Code Safe: how and why to use Drupal functions for text, links, input fields and database queries
- Making Your Code Intelligible: the tao of commenting
- Dojo Challenge!: review a patch for Drupal 5.0
- Documentation: lets keep the great documentation coming!
Feel free to comment on this post with feedback. I'm especially interested in collecting links to documentation folks may want to read ahead of time, and/or we should look at improving as a result of this lesson.
See you in the Dojo!

Documentation
We're getting some great feedback and collecting some amazing pieces to be used in documentation, and I'm looking to start aggregating this into a single place. I'm not positive I'm the one to do this so speak up if anyone has a better plan.
What I'd like to start doing, structured around the lessons. Is the folowing process.

Dive into Drupal - one instantiation of the first Drupal Dojo class 20070104 presented by joshk
We dived into Drupal.
I'm sorry, I had to "lift" this expression from the web's "dive into" guru (Dive into XML, Dive into Python, Dive into Tuxedo...), Mark Pilgrim.
Read moreFeedback from the First Lesson
So, we just had the first lesson and it was a truly formidable event. A lot of people had their eyes opened to some neat new things (I know I did) and some people couldn't get the webhuddle running.
What went right?
What went wrong?
What do we need to do to follow up on the first lesson?
The IRC is rollicking with hundreds of good ideas. Put them here so we can aggregate them and build from them.
