This session mixes development with tips and tricks for using Drupal and jQuery, some common sense and a tab of usability. We will go through several examples that show how Drupal can do the heavy lifting for you so you create functional interfaces with little to no work at all. Endless fieldsets and needlessly visible content, begone with thee!
