Grok Drupal 7 Theming - update

Earlier this month at Drupal Design Camp Los Angeles 2011, I presented an update on Grok Drupal (7) Theming, which I had originally presented last year at DrupalCon San Francisco.

A lot has changed since March 2010.

how to get started
The presentation is for people who are new to Drupal theming, as well as those who want to get a better sense of what's new in Drupal 7 theming.

I expanded on the previous presentation, clarified some points, and replaced a few slides with better ones.

A video of my slide presentation is available on the DDCLA Blip TV site. The slides are kind of fuzzy because the recording app captured my presentation notes screen instead of my presentation screen. My sincere gratitude goes out to John Romine for taking care of all the session videos, including the cropping of my session to just the relevant slides.

The video should be legible enough, but I've also posted higher resolution slides up on Slideshare.

It was great meeting various folks at Drupal Design Camp LA. Big thanks to Christefano and Lee Vodra for their wonderful hospitality!

I wonder why you disabled the download button too. Offline reading is a must for some of us.

In slide 74 is highlight suppose to be <?php print render($page['highlighted']); ?>, http://drupal.org/update/themes/6/7#highlighted-region?

Indeed you are right! Thanks for noting it!

I'd annotate the Slideshare, but I can't see how to ad notes on individual slides. Slideshare really is rather confusing at times, not to mention having a clunky and heavy widget, but I don't know of anything else that might be better.

So I just had to go through a lengthy fight with slideshare broken captcha to register and find out I can't download a presentation that I'm unable to see because adobe does not provide a flash plugin that I wouldn't want in the first place.

What happened to providing a pdf or opendocument link ? I assure you it worked. No need to register or install proprietary plugins. It was quite efficient at spreading knowledge and making you look good.

Sorry people have been having frustrations with Slideshare. When I get a chance, I'll try futzing with the settings. In the future, I'll look at other ways of sharing slides.

I also want to know what all the reasons for not allowing the download button...please make it available for us...

I managed to make the presentation downloadable. My apologies for not sorting this out sooner.
