(Here is the presentation)
[Update: Several people asked for a writeup on how to run a catchall Apache virtualhost]

Debugging is fun and profitable if you have the right strategies, techniques, and tools in hand. Successful debugging includes strategies that will make you successful, techniques that let you pinpoint the problem, and tools that make you productive.This session will cover all three, and then as a bonus will show you how to set up the free Eclipse IDE for step debugging in Drupal on any platform.

There are bugs in every piece of software, and Drupal is no exception, and your site is no exception either. You just have to be prepared to deal with the bugs. Learn effective strategies to approach them, handy techniques to find them, and get your tools set up and mastered.

The Command Line is your friend

Addison Berry 10 June 2010
Type:  Session in official program

The *nix command line interface (CLI) is a powerful tool but can be a bit daunting if you've never used one before. Here is an introduction to explain what is going on and get comfortable with the basics you need to be a command line rockstar.

This session will introduce you to the wonderful and powerful tool of working from a *nix command line interface (CLI) instead of using a GUI (pointy-clicky). This is targeted at folks who've never opened a terminal before, but will cover a number of tips and tricks along the way. We'll even show you how Windows users can get the same CLI that Linux and Mac users use, so you can use it too!

Main points we'll cover:
- Huh? What is this thing? How do I get one?
- Moving around (both locally and accessing a remote server)
- Creating and editing files
- Searching

Teaching Drupal

Type:  Session in official program

You know how to use Drupal but do you know how to teach others to use it? We'll define a method for showing clients how to use the tools we build without freaking them out.

You know how to use Drupal. You know how to write code, build a theme, and SEO a site. But do you know how to teach others to use Drupal? For every site we create there are clients who must use it, many don't know a node from a block. After this session, you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.

We'll cover:

  • Defining "need to know" and emphasizing main concepts
  • Thinking like a user, talking like a mentor
  • Using normal words with a sprinkling of Drupalese
