What's the best way to move external data into Drupal? How do you do that big migration project you just landed? Need to integrate a non-Drupal database into Views? Meet two of the coolest modules to appear on the scene in the last year, and get some ideas about how you can finally drop that Wordpress or Joomla! site you've been meaning to move to Drupal.

Not another Garland site. Dealing day to day with design agencies we get handed Photoshop / Illustator templates and asked to turn them into websites. Learn how to approach cutting up the template and convert it into a drupal theme which doesn't look like garland.

Learn how to use Drupal together with SOLR to greatly improve the search functionality in Drupal. This workshop will take you through installing Apache Tomcat and setting up a SOLR server.

Version control with Drupal can be tricky! I can propose and take questions on a way to version control your changes in a popular source control system, like subversion, that even includes database changes. I'll show how we use module.install files to handle changes, exporting views and cck types and adding them into the .install files and using install profile api to help glue it all together. I can stretch or shrink this session, change it into a workshop e.t.c. I'll skim over the stuff in here in a separate session over the larger development practice we take at Economist.com.
