drupalcon paris

I finally posted my slides for DrupalCon Paris at slideshare.

Feel free to download a copy and use it in conjunction with the video from Paris. The slides, though, cover some information that I did not have time to cover in the video. Conversely, the video features Ken and David each talking about QueryPath projects they worked on.

I was happy to see that QueryPath made the hallway track at DrupalCamp Atlanta. I assume I have Ken to thank for that. Ken co-presented with me twice at DrupalCon Paris -- once on how we did Foreign Affairs, and once on QueryPath (video of session).Josh Brauer's Blog

At DrupalCon Paris, I gave a presentation on QueryPath, Mash-ups and Web Services, in which I covered the basics of using QueryPath.

I had two guest speakers with me.

Ken Rickard discussed using QueryPath to import legacy HTML content into Drupal.

David Hwang discussed how QueryPath was used to create a presentation layer on top of the Field Museum's collections management tool.

At DrupalCon Paris, 2009, I gave an introductory talk on how to write Drupal modules. The talk was a hands-on walk through the development of a simple module. I wrote the module as I talked, and encouraged the audience to follow along on their laptops.

Here is the video of that presentation.
