I was fortunate that NCBI and A-tek sent me to DrupalCon Chicago, the annual three-day gathering of Drupal developers. I aim to distill the talks I went to each day, starting with Day 1, March 8th, 2011.
I'm really enjoying Test-Driven-Development (TDD), combined with automated UI Tests for my Web apps. I love the confidence it gives me to code and be relatively certain I haven't broken anything which was previously tested...
If you read one of my former blog posts, Doing it with Drupal, you know that at NCBI I was experimenting with using Drupal to manage content, but not to serve it. This post will more fully describe this project in the hopes of receiving informatative comments and helping others who may be trying to achieve similar goals.
Don't think this is the final product. I am still very much experimenting with Drupal and installed a minimalist theme called Zen. This allows me to work on building up my own custom theme without having to deal with Drupal's default Garland theme, which is a bit heavy.
So the functionality and presentation of this site is very much still under construction.
