This hour long prolegomenon will cover everything you've always wanted to know about Drupal (but were too afraid to ask.) From preprocess to hooks, from wysiwig to workflow, this will be a whirlwind tour of everything you need to know to hit the ground running.

We will cover Drupal architecture, site-building, best practices and indispensable techniques for development and design. This session is intended for anyone using Drupal whether you are just getting started or are already using it and would like to make sense of it all.

Topics covered include request handling, development environments, version control, coding standards, testing, deployment and of course, not killing kittens. All of which will be broken down so that users of all levels will not only be able to understand, but quickly put these methods into practice.
