Topics that will be covered:

We will step through adding functionality to the module from a blank PHP file to the completed module. You will learn how each function works along the way. To get the most out of this session, you should have some experience with PHP or another programming language, at least a beginner's knowledge of Drupal and a desire to make it your own. Come see how simple it is to add functionality to Drupal.
