Feeds is a powerful module that can be used as a general ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) engine for Drupal.
In this session, I will present Feeds from an architectural, top-down perspective. Starting with the 10,000-feet-high conceptual view, we will progressively drill down on the details until we hit the code.
Here are some of the topics covered in the talk:
* Understanding the Feeds pipeline
* Solving real-world problems with Feeds
* Writing plugins for all stages of the Feeds pipeline
I will base the presentation on real-life modules and puzzles where we examine existing solutions to gain an understanding of Feeds programming.
* Application developers who want to customize Feeds with their own business logic. * Application developers who want to understand Feeds internals to be able to debug their problems. * Module developers who want to integrate their modules with Feeds.
