DrupalCampParis 4 & Training Session

During the first day of the first DrupalCon in Paris, DrupalCampParis4 will be held : an event open for all, conference participants as well as anyone who would like to show up (but do register... we have to know how many people come)! Alongside, Frederic Marand, an expert trainer, will hold a Views 2 for coders 4 hours hands-on training workshop.

The Camp

What is a DrupalCamp? Inspired by the BarCamp events, DrupalCamp is a small (to medium sized) gathering of like minded people to discuss and learn about Drupal, share ideas, get involved in the community, connect and network with people. We have already held three very successful events in Paris; in the tradition of BarCamps this is an open and free (of charge) event, with no predetermined program...

To register go to: http://barcamp.org/DrupalCampParis4

The DrupalCamp will be a great moment for those of you who are new to Drupal to get to know what this wonderful platform is about, and what a lovely community fosters it.

The Training Session

And for those of you who are seasoned Drupal coders, we have prepared a hands on training session to get into the rythme : Views 2 for Coders (4 hours hand-on workshop).

The training session will be held in English by the very excellent Frederic Marand from Osinet

Though not obligatory those who wish to participate in the training session are encouraged to donate to French Drupal Association (the funds collected will serve to organize further community events.)

To participate you should be familiar with drupal module development, PHP5 object model
and admin-level Views 2.

The goals: optimize Views integration in one's modules, by:

• integrating Views in code instead of the DB (i.e. defining default views)
• defining Views data sources: tables, fields, relationships
• defining application-specific arguments, filters, sorts
• implementing new Views display types
• just a small note about Views theming (not enough time in 4h)
• implementing Views access control
• performance notes

Attendees will need to have an already configured PC with Drupal 6, Views 6.2.6 and their favorite IDE operational in order to work on the exercises and access source code

Both the DrupalCamp and the training session will start at 1pm.
