(updated!) After years of avoiding classes Drupal is slowing moving toward using object-orientation in more areas, from the DB to unit testing to Views. However, many Drupal developers do not have experience with OOP design. This session will cover the concept of design patterns, both procedural and OOP, how Drupal leverages them now, and how we can better leverage OOP in Drupal without falling into common traps.
Larry Garfield
Agenda
- Design patterns
- Design patterns in Drupal
- Smart approaches to OO in PHP
- How Drupal is using OO now and could use it in other areas.
Goals
Attendees should come away with a better understanding of OO principles and design patterns philosophy, and hopefully a common understanding of where they are appropriate to use (and where they are not).
Resources
The search revolution is finally available to anyone with a Drupal site. By connecting Drupal to a Solr search backend, new possibilities arise for how to structure sites, discover content, and keep your visitors coming back. Our case study will be Drupal.org and Groups.drupal.org. It's the community you know and love, but you're going to love it even more when you can search and drill down into groups, authors, tags and dates, then save your search and pipe it into an RSS feed.

access callback, page callback, title callback maybe render callback and of course the block callback....
Karoly Negyesi
The menu system handles a lot of callbacks and the block system should run callbacks too and then we could unify them. http://drupal4hu.com/node/173 contains my first thoughts on this. The goal of this session to get myself together and code enough of this by March so that I am able to talk about it.
Ubercart is a powerful e-commerce suite that allows you to sell physical products, role promotions, file downloads, and more through your Drupal site. Current stores use Ubercart to sell audio content, recurring fan club memberships, node access, store credit, and event registrations. This session will highlight the core and contributed modules needed to accomplish these things in Ubercart. We will walk through the store configuration and answer questions related to the demonstrated tasks.

Drupal and its contributed modules provides an impressive amount of functionality without needing to write a single line of code by storing information in Drupal's database tables. Unfortunately this poses a challenge for developers wanting to stage changes between servers. This talk will address these issues by describing the problem and presenting a variety of solutions as well as their pros and cons.
