Agenda of the event:

Presentation A (5.30 PM to 6.00 PM):
Demo of www.examiner.com, recent successful migration to Drupal 7.This site is ranked 185th in USA.
Presentation by Kieran Lal (Product Manager in www.Acquia.com and an evangelist of Drupal).

Presentation B (6.10 PM to 6.30 PM):
Product presentation of an iphone app using Drupal Restful API`s and communication protocols.

With millions of iPhones in the hands of people, it's hard to ignore it as a channel.

Whether you run a Social Networking site, Community site, a Publishing platform, an Events heavy site or any site utilizing Drupal, Mobile friendliness has to be a part of the strategy.

While Mobile browsers are universal, the experience of the Application cannot be compared.

Join this session for an interactive discussion on

• How to make the site content ready for an iPhone App
• Optimizing DRUPAL Modules for iPhone
