What are we going to talk about? Views 2 API
Views is a flexible query builder that will allow your module to expose its data so that Views can build queries with it. While Views has a pretty good idea of how Drupal Core is laid out, you as a developer, must tell Views what to do, or it can't handle your data. --drupal.org
For the first presentation of the evening, Kevin Herrington will give us an overview of the Views 2 API.
Optimizing jQuery
If time permits, Helior Colorado will briefly discuss best practices on creating faster jQuery scripts.
jQuerys DOM traversal is powerful and easy, but it can sometimes be slow as well. As with any JavaScript library or framework, the helper methods will be slower than the plain old JavaScript (p.o.j) methods. Nevertheless, if we keep in mind the jQuerys speed hierarchy, the speed difference between jQuery and p.o.j. will often be negligible.
After the presentations we'll open up the floor to the community where anyone can ask questions, show off the stuff they've been working on, or anything else that is worth talking about. Hope to see you there, and tell your friends.
Where are we meeting? We are meeting in the ActiveLAMP office. The office seats up to 12 people and there will be free pizza and restroom priviledges.
