Building Amazing Interfaces with Drupal and jQuery UI

Drupal 7 will be shipping with jQuery UI. In this session, we will build a simple module that uses jQuery UI.

You’ll learn how to work with the following UI components:

• dialogs
• sortable lists
• custom effects

We will also cover some prerequisite development topics:

For Drupal:

• module building basics
• Drupal.behaviors
• Writing menu callbacks (hook_menu())
• Creating theme functions (hook_theme())
• Using hook_schema()

For jQuery:

• Writing new jquery methods

About jQuery UI: [http://jqueryui.com/home]

“jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications.”
