Lullabot jQuery and JavaScript in Drupal-QUASAR

If you’ve been itching to add more whiz-bang excitement to your Drupal website but felt like you just don’t understand all this Ajax/javascript stuff, then this video is for you! This video builds off of concepts covered in videos such as Theming Basics for Drupal, Advanced Theming for Drupal, Drupal Module Development and Introduction to jQuery. This video ties together these concepts as we delve into Drupal’s javascript and Ajax APIs.

Warning: This video covers some higher-level topics and advanced Drupal alchemy not known to many developers. With a grasp of the concepts contained in this video, we expect that you will be transformed into an unstoppable Drupal wizard. We hope that you will use these powers for good.

jQuery & javascript in Drupal carefully walks you through all of the Drupal-specific javascript conventions that you’ll need to know to begin integrating jQuery scripts into your Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 websites. You’ll get a brief introduction to jQuery and learn how to add javascript code through the theme layer as well as via a module. You’ll also learn how to pass variables from PHP into your javascript files through the Drupal-specific Drupal.settings variable.

We’ve written six example modules in this video and we walk you through each one in order to demonstrate how to integrate jQuery scripts into your Drupal website. This hands-on approach will help you learn how to leverage Drupal’s javascript-related Form API properties, how to create sortable table forms, and how to leverage the AHAH framework in Drupal 6 as well as the powerful Ajax framework in Drupal 7. This video will teach you everything you need to know to start creating fully Ajax-enabled Drupal websites. In this video we also explore the new javascript states system in Drupal 7, which allows you to create dynamic form dependencies and increase the usability of forms in Drupal. Finally, we’ll take a look at some of the ways to keep your jQuery version up to date and some of the other popular javascript-related Drupal contributed modules.

Lullabot Drupal Module Development-QUASAR

When I was just getting started with Drupal — at least, when I was trying to make a living using drupal as the core of my development work, I attended a week of Lullabot training in Providence, Rhode Island. I’d been listening to the Lullabot podcast for a while, but I had no idea how incredibly helpful and empowering a week of training could be.

And, of course, I went hom over the course of the next couple of weeks and tried to cling to the things that I had learned. I managed to retain some, rediscover others quickly, but some of it was lost in the ether.

In the past couple of years, though, the Lullabot have been producing a series of training videos that I’m totally in love with – and just today they’ve released their most recent title, Drupal Module Development. I’m downloading it right now . . . so this isn’t really a review. I’ll save that for later. But the ‘Bots are awesome, I’ve enjoyed almost* everything about their training videos, so this is a huge release in my world. I hope you’ll check it out, too. But wait a day or so, until my download finishes. I keep losing my connection to the download server . . . .

*One thing that seems to be lost in the videos is the personality of the ‘Bots that comes through so well in the live trainings and in the podcasts. It’s getting better as they produce more videos, but it’s still not quite the same. Still, the information is dynamite, so get over

Lullabot Understanding Drupal-QUASAR

In Understanding Drupal, the first in The Lullabot Learning Series, the Lullabot team provides an overview of Drupal as a content management system, as a PHP web application framework, and as a developer community. Its documentary-style exploration covers all the terminology and fundamental concepts for both site administrators and developers. If you’ve ever been confused by Drupal or are still trying to wrap your head around the community and platform, then this video is a roadmap to accelerate your journey up the Drupal learning curve.

Topics include:

* How content is entered and managed
* How users and user permissions are handled
* What blocks are and what they can do
* The concepts and capabilities of Drupal’s powerful module system
* How Drupal handles navigation and its menu system
* How themes alter the site layout, design, and presentation
* Site configuration and administrative messages and settings

This video uses Drupal 6 for examples, however it is more focused on general Drupal concepts rather than version-specific how-tos.
