Time: 8:30 am - 10:00 am
Instructor: Ryan Szrama
Track: CMS Power Track
Audience: Content Creators, Businesspeople and Developers

Drupal Commerce is a NEW generation module made for Drupal 7. Launched in October 2009 and led by Ryan Szrama, the erstwhile Project Lead of Ubercart, Drupal Commerce is poised to become one of the top open source e-commerce solutions on the market.  Come to Drupal Commerce Under the Hood on Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 to hear all about this exciting new development in the e-commerce world for the soon-to-be-unveiled Drupal 7 CMS.

In short, the Drupal Commerce project is a re-implementation of Ubercart's core feature set on Drupal 7 using the best new core Drupal features and depending on the strongest Drupal contributions. Drupal Commerce can be dropped into existing Drupal sites to add targeted e-commerce functionality to the site or used as the basis for full-blown Drupal distributions.

The project will balance complexity with usability by separating the underlying systems from the interfaces implementing those systems at the core level. Users may never need anything beyond the default user interfaces provided by the Drupal Commerce modules, but they'll be free to replace them with their own to build streamlined interfaces for clients of all shapes and sizes.

Key Points Covered:

• What exactly is Drupal Commerce?
• How does Drupal Commerce work?
• Core systems and how to use them
• Simple setup and Drupal powered security
• Drupal Commerce distributions and Features
• Drupal Commerce Demo
• How can you contribute?
