DrupalCamp Atlanta Presentation: There's a Hook for That! Extending Drupal, Beginning Module Development

Today (Sept 19, 2009) I had the great honor of being able to present to DrupalCamp Atlanta on something that I think is a major (mostly mental) hurdle in beginning to develop for Drupal. There are a lot of developers out there, people who are familiar with PHP or other programming languages, who clearly know how to program, but don't know the right way to program for Drupal.

Below, please find the slides (Google Docs) of my presentation. I hope that this introduces more people to developing for Drupal, and evangelize the idea that Drupal truly is an Application Development Framework, not just a CMS.

Really good presentation and

Really good presentation and I learned quite a bit of new things about Drupal.
