Designing with Drupal

conference: Do It With Drupal: New Orleans 2008

Drupal theming has long been seen as a dark art. There are many Drupalisms such as CSS class names, XHTML structure, and PHP knowledge which web designers should be aware of before embarking on a Drupal project. John Wilkins is a CSS ‣ master and the maintainer of Drupal’s respected Zen theme framework. This session will be a must for designers or anyone who has struggled with CSS.

Zen and the Art of Theming and the power of Base Themes

camp: Drupal Camp Colorado

The Zen theme is both a good learner’s theme for beginners and a powerful launch pad for advanced themers.

In this session we’re going to be discussing “The Power of Base Themes” and why even Theming-Fu Masters would be wise to use a base theme (even if they decide to roll their own.) We’ll also discuss some of the goodies that make Zen a flexible, pluggable, well-documented, feature-rich, minimally-styled, well-structured, CSS-powered über–theme.
