With launch of iPad and NexusOne - iPhone/Android application market can't be ignored. Both these technologies has great potential to use our existing web based tools such as drupal. You can totally use drupal to manage/update your iPhone/Android native application.

Some iPhone/drupal stuff I wrote in past at: http://civicactions.com/blog/sumit

Mobile Strategy is becoming critical to websites and companies who want to provide their users with more accessible and interactive information while on the go. Iphone Apps provide a great way for these organizations to adapt their content and features to an integrated mobile experience.

With the rising popularity of these apps, we need a standard Drupal iPhone application or Library to begin working with when developing apps that reference Drupal content. Today's solution is a Library that leverages the power of Cocoa/obj-c and connects it to Drupal.

We've all seen the pattern.

Designer cleverly fills in the boxes, design looks great, client approves design, developers implement the design, site is ready to launch once we get those boxes filled in with the real conte..... What do you mean you don't have anything to go there?

As much as we love the code, great sites live and die by their content. Unfortunately, many sites are still designed and built assuming "something" will fill in the boxes. That's no way to treat your users!

Drupal Commerce is the next generation e-commerce module suite for Drupal 7. The project is a re-implementation of Ubercart's core feature set on Drupal 7 using the best new core Drupal features and depending on the strongest Drupal contributions. Drupal Commerce can be dropped into existing Drupal sites to add targeted e-commerce functionality to the site or used as the basis for full-blown Drupal e-commerce distributions.

Providing support for Drupal sites and projects of all sizes and helping users with a wide variety of experience levels at Acquia has given us some insight into the most common questions about getting to know Drupal and how it can best work for you.

Adding content to Drupal is easy. Right out of the box you can create pages with specific menu items and articles that promote to your front page with minimal effort. But what if you need more? Come to this session to find out how Drupal's core systems empower you to create and display any number of custom content types.

This session is aimed at beginners. It will cover the following topics in the format of a walkthrough to introduce new Drupal users to the major concepts involved in building, displaying, and managing content on their Drupal site:

Drupal is a powerful e-commerce platform, and it's not just because of its e-commerce specific modules. Drupal's core systems, contributed modules, and best practices provide you with the stability, flexibility, and power you need to build a highly functional e-commerce website. The biggest barrier to entry is simply knowing the pieces to put in place and the "gotchas" to look for as you build your site. This session aims to help you cross that barrier and start selling today.

One of the most valuable modules in site development is surely the Admin menu. Why? It reduces page loads significantly and makes almost everything easier to find - without taking up much space. Why not extend that same courtesy to your users... and animate it.

You can, thanks to the Popup module and its little helpers.

Making style sheets easier to maintain for yourself and others, by fully understanding and leveraging Drupal’s theming system, and thinking of what will happen tomorrow.

We’ve all seen them; style sheets so large and confusing that we ended up adding new styles at the bottom of the file we happened to have open in our editor, instead of looking for a proper location. It’s unacceptable, especially when working together with multiple themers. In this session we’ll take a look at common pitfalls, ways to prevent these situations and keep our styles more sustainable.
