Save time developing for Drupal by minimizing effort spent on common tasks we use while coding. I would like to give an introduction of Eclipse to those not familiar with the IDE and provide tips and tricks to help the experienced become experts. Experts are also welcome to share their knowledge to strengthen the Drupal developer community.

Want to know what you're going to have to go back and update when your clients are moving from 6 to 7? You'll probably want to keep the considerations brought up in this session on your desktop for when that big client needs an upgrade.

Solr is an open source search platform based on the Lucene, a Java-based indexing and search implementation. Drupal provides a module called Apachesolr that provides some groundwork and basic settings to get you up and running with Solr

Dries has been pounding the war drums the past few years that the Elephants (IBM, Capgemini, Accenture, Oracle, Microsoft) are coming and that the landscape of Drupal is rapidly shifting to meet the needs of these corporate giants.
