Brisbane Drupal Presentation

Tonight I am giving a presentation to the Brisbane Drupal user group on jQuery. I plan to cover some of the early tools I developed well before jQuery was around, such as the CSS Generator, which is about 7 years old now. Then look at adding AJAX functionality via jQuery to the Best Reply module. This has become a little more complex then I first envisaged due to some of the new features I am adding. You will have to come along to find out more.
If I have any time left I will have a quick run through of Bear SQL

Best Reply Module

I have released my first Drupal module, best reply. It's a module developed for CSSCreator that allows authors to mark a comment to their topic as the best reply.

Hopefully people will find the module useful for their sites. Currently it is only available for version 5 of Drupal.

The hardest thing about releasing it was trying to grasp the cvs branch and tag structure used at Drupal.

Australasia Scales

Australasia Scales
Australasia Scales has finally been released. I think it was about 2 years in the making, mostly waiting on content. In the end it is very much like the original site with the addition of a content management system thanks to Drupal. the original designer flew the coop well over a year ago. Dan did a good job of picking up the pieces and getting the job finished.

DrupalCamp Australia 2008

Last weekend I flew down to Sydney for DrupalCamp Australia 2008. Everyone takes away something different from events like this apart from a t-shirt. For me I met great people with similar interests, and gained the motivation to improve my skills.
All the presentation I saw were excellent, the most memorable for me were Unit Testing by lyricnz, CVS Patches by Jaza, Panels 2.x Jeff, and Maintaining Drupal with Git by Gordon.
Since then I have started using Git for version control, and find it fast and simple to use. SimpleTest I am using for the MySQL Table Manager, and it has already helped enormously. It really is simple, once you get into it.
Drupal has been moving strongly towards 100% testing coverage for the next release, so becoming familiar with SimpleTest will be of benefit to the Drupal community and make testing modules easy.
