module development

I consider myself lucky to have started with Drupal in a job where I had to do a lot of custom theming. It helped me understand the importance of separation of concerns between the data manipulation and the actual display of the data. It also helped me grok the Presentation-Abstraction-Control stuff that everyone (or mostly Larry Garfield) talks about.

I was hoping that this presentation would be a good resource for my colleagues at DERI, most of whom aren't too familiar with the theme layer. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether module developers who haven't worked with the theme layer would understand how to make their output themable after watching this presentation... but I picked up some neat tips.

Sidenote: The subtitle of this session was "a guide for module developers who want sweet love from Morten and JohnAlbin"... and you should strive for their sweet love.
