Talk Title:

Drupal 7: A more powerful platform for building library applications

Speaker name, affiliation, and email address:

Cary Gordon, The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com

Abstract:

The release of Drupal 7 brings with it a big increase in utility for this already very useful and well-accepted content management framework. Specifically, the addition of fields in core, the use of the PHP_db abstraction layer, and the promotion of files to first class objects facilitate the development of richer applications directly in Drupal without the need to integrate external products.
