In this session we'll flesh out best practices for site design that will avoid the enormous pain in that next upgrade cycle. Custom modules, custom themes, and poor choice of contrib modules can cause major pain on the coming Drupal 7, and Drupal 8! Think ahead!

We'll cover topics like:

  1. Informed contrib module selection
  2. Ways to avoid custom code in themes and modules
  3. Ways to avoid pain when you do use custom code

This session is a learning and sharing session... We'll be searching for best practices.
