In his presentation "Beyond Web 2.0", Lullabot co-founder and CEO, Jeff Robbins will be talking about the future (and possible death of) the web at DrupalCamp CT on Saturday. He looks at trends in technology and the Internet and talks about what we, as web developers, need to understand in order to prepare our websites today.

Build Your Site With Views

CCK and Views are the workhorse of modern Drupal sites. They also bring the power of custom site development squarely in reach of the non-programmer/site builder.

In this session I will demonstrate how to quickly build your site using views. I will also show how the nodereference field type, when combined with views, allows for a very powerful site building paradigm.

I'm hoping someone will offer to do an "intro to CCK" session just before mine. Armed with CCK and Views you are ready to advance bravely into the world of building cool content rich Drupal sites.

Moving from static design to Drupal

This session is aimed at people who come from a traditional web design background and are most comfortable writing their own HTML, CSS (maybe JavaScript) but would like to get into Drupal. If you have never worked with a content management system before, Drupal can seem daunting. In this session I hope to familiarize you with the big concepts of Drupal and make the transition easier.

My core message: if you only know HTML and CSS, don't know a word of PHP, and have never used a content management system in your life, you CAN learn Drupal.
