When I was introduced to drush, a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal, I thought, “meh, I can do those tasks already in about the same time with no learning curve.” Now? “Omg omg, do you use drush? You gotta try drush! It’s awesome!” Find out why drush has transformed me into a groupie. In this session, we’ll walk through installing a Drupal site using drush, enabling modules, and common tasks like running update hooks, cron, and clearing the cache. Intimidated by the command line? We’ll cover the basics and show you how development tools like Coda enable you to use drush inside a visual environment.

In the beginning, web designers only had a handful of typefaces at their disposal to use in their designs. Then Flash and Javascript allowed unlimited fonts but lacked accessibility features. In the past year, it seems we finally have a winning solution: the @font-face method which has support from all major browsers and does so using only HTML and CSS. Meanwhile, a second conversation is happening amongst those who actually own the fonts – the foundries. Would these emerging technologies ensure that their typefaces could not be easily copied from the web? Unfortunately @font-face is still not widely accepted by most foundries. Some allow you to use a hosted service like TypeKit, or you can venture into the burgeoning movement of open source and commercial-free fonts and enjoy free rein over your web typography.
