Integrating Spreadsheets in Your Drupal Sites

Track: 
Implementation and Config
Experience: 
Intermediate

It is hard to integrate spread sheet technology within a web site. However, with Drupal there is a Module--sheetnode--that makes the integration easy. I will present a website that illustrates not only how spreadsheets can be integrated with Drupal sites, but also provide some of the examples of why you would want to use spreadshhets in a Drupal site. For example: Entering extensve data in a site;showing the relationships between entered data; comparing entered date to standards;
rapidly themeing data reprorts without themeing; aggregating data in a set of spreadsheets.

The illustrations will all come from a website that is being used to track , compare and display, data about TB Treatment in clinics all over South Africa,

Intended audience: 

Developers and Designers who are interested in seeing what use can be made of spreadsheet technology within a Drupal Website

Developers who want to learn how to use spreadsheet technology in a Drupal site
