Anyone has tried developing Drupal themes with Dreamweaver? Working with the template files proves to be a bit too much for my designers. I need to find an easier way for them to develop new themes.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Just in case you have missed this page, here is a link to videos of the presentations from Drupalcon in DC this week.

I gave the book a flip through at a book store, it's pretty good for beginners to intermediate level users, you can simply follow each chapter step-by-step to build different sites with Drupal.

The electronic version includes 3 different formats with no DRM. I think I'm going to buy it... but then I see there's a "Buy 2 get the 3rd free" thing on there... so I thought I'd just ask on here. Anyone wants to buy an e-book? Check out O'Reilly's catalog.

Can people share their own experience with the web hosting providers they have tried before? Which ones are good, which ones to avoid, which ones are easy to hack, which ones have really bad support?

Anyone pulling out their hair over multilingual sites should take a look at this:

SOHO Life has a really nice office in Sheung Wan, literally a minutes walk from exit C. The rooms have projectors and wifi access, it's perfect for our meetings.

Nick and I have arranged to work on the SOHO Life website, and hope to complete it before December 6, 2008 (the day of http://openeverything.hk/2008/) since they are the venue sponsor for that event.

First of all, somehow this line got stuck in my head when I thought about starting a thread about tutoring here - "I'm not completely incompetent!" LOL... I think that was from Get Smart? Gotta love Steve Carell.

Anyway, yes, tutor... I had spoken about my "Environmentally Conscious Food Directory" idea, I've actually tried to learn Drupal and in the end, decided to hire some professional help to create the site so I could 1) get it up & running ASAP and 2) learn from his finished product so I could get a jump start... making that leap from beginner to intermediate level.

I would like to express my pleasure for todays meeting. We have ~25 Drupaler in the sharing session, give me a great chance for sharing my Drupal theme development experience with all of us. And the most important is: we all show our wish for indeed cooperation and connection, and also hope to contribute for even more! Seems it is a good chance for us to have more join activities in Hong Kong :D

Hey how many HK drupalers can we find, maybe we can meet up sometime and learn from each other.

Just a thought...

What do you all think?
