Glue code in Drupal 7

"Glue code" is those few lines of code in a custom module that get your project from 90% done to 100% done -- without hacking core or any contrib modules. It's what lets you adapt your Drupal project to your client's needs, giving them full satisfaction, even for small but important details.

Putting glue code separate from the rest in a custom module that makes use of Drupal's many APIs has been a best-practice for many releases already. However, developers switching from one version of Drupal to the next one will need to adapt. There are new APIs, new modules, new possibilities, but also new issues that one is confronted with.

In this session, we will look at how to resolve practical examples based on projects that one could encounter as a professional Drupal developer.
