I’m going to DrupalCampLA 2009. It’s at UC Irvine this weekend (in less than 8 hours actually).
I’m excited about learning new tricks, asking questions, and meeting other Drupalers face to face. It’s my first Drupal live meetup.
It’s also my first barcamp. Being able to vote on sessions and have them be rearranged on the schedule based on demand is very neat. Even if you do have to play tag with the schedule as your chosen sessions are moved around and conflict. I wonder if the schedule will shift again.
Sessions I definitely want to go to:
- Views Demystified (super 2 hr session). I sense there’s a lot of power I’m missing out on.
- Services module. Gotta have your own APIs.
- Theming with Views. I totally understand why this is the most popular session.
- Functional Interaction Design. Usability/design is so important but I suck at it. It can always be easier.
There a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced sessions. It’s a good opportunity to introduce someone to Drupal.
