Groups.Drupal.Org Presentation: Panels Created By MerlinOfChaos

Submitted by Peter on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 23:05

Presentation Update

My Drupal Presentation based on the modules created by merlinofchaos, Panels and Ctools went ok. I am grateful for the Fresno Drupal Group which allowed me to attempt to impart my limited but growing knowledge of Panels and Ctools. Over all it went well despite, sigh, a monitor resolution issue that I should have fixed but different and my departure from my slides... It was my first Drupal presentation and I was a bit nervous. The Fresno Drupal group has some Drupalists with a lot of experiences in implementing Drupal in the real world.
