CCK Module
Lesson 04: Module Mashups!
This lesson is on Contrib Modules, but as always, if you have any suggestions, please post to the Drupal Dojo Lesson Ideas wiki
Join us in #drupal-dojo on IRC, and on Skype. You can also see the VNC screensharing provided by Webavant's VNC Viewer.
Two other points to note:
* Greggles will be stepping up to lead us in a CVS usage session. Awesome! He will be leading Lesson #5 on Sunday the 27th. [edit: see and edit the lesson plan wiki]
* SamTressler has offered to set up a session at Drupal Camp NYC where the Dojo lesson will be projected and people can take part; an exciting real/virtual world crossover!
Lesson 01: Drupal Basics, FormAPI, and CCK
After some discussion in IRC, it seems that there's definitely interest in having "lessons" here at the Dojo. Ideas range from HowTo on specific features or topics to having creators of interesting sites lead the group in an under-the-hood tour. Really, the sky is the limit.
It is with this intention that we will try and make lesson-time be a recurring weekly feature. To that end Josh will run the first few sessions. Hopefully within a couple weeks we will have a format that works and other experts can step in/step up.
For the first lesson, we will try to cover the basics: drupal terminology and what it means, the basic module hooks, good coding style and best practices.
Since this is of high value to all dojo members -- and it's a lesson that should be repeated many times as new developers join -- we're also going to try and create good documentation out of this. A primer for new Drupal coders, so to speak.
