This video shows how to use the magical symbolic link, or symlink. These are basically a handy *nix way to create shortcuts. They come in particularly handy if you want to organize code for your websites outside of the web server's document root and that is the example we use here.

The command line can be a scary place for someone not familiar with interacting with a computer through text-only. We are so used to using GUIs to point and click our way through tasks. In this series we'll walk through some of the most common command line tasks to help you understand what is going on and be able to do some cool tricks yourself.

This is the first video in a series that shows basic command line usage for *nix systems, such as Linux, Mac OS X, and on Windows, using applications like Cygwin. This video shows the following commands and spends the most time explaining how to move around your file structure from the command line:

• pwd
• ls (and ls -al)
• less
• cd
• man
• clear

Drupal 7 co-maintainer Angie Byron gives a overview of some of the new Drupal 7 features, themes and user interface. She is joined by Nate Haug, Jeff Robbins, Jeff Eaton and Kent Bye who also provide a lot of insights through dynamic conversation, questions, and a fast-paced, hands-on tour of the major highlights of the new Drupal 7 release.

A review of all of the material covered within the jQuery & JavaScript in Drupal series.

Go on a brief tour of other jQuery and JavaScript-related contributed modules that are worth knowing about.

Create dependencies between form elements so that you can show/hide or disable/enable one form setting based upon the form state of another from setting.

Shows how you can use the ajax framework in Drupal 7 to load additional content onto the page dynamically after clicking on a 'read more' link.

The sample code for this series is in the Downloads tab for the first video in this series: http://drupalize.me/videos/introduction-jquery-and-javascript-drupal#do…. If you're skipping around, and things aren't working, you may benefit from going back to the beginning and completing each of the videos in order.

See how the new JavaScript APIs and ajax framework in Drupal 7 allows you to implement dynamic behaviors without having to register a menu callback in the menu system or to write any jQuery code.

Goes through how to implement the AHAH framework in Drupal 6 in order to provide more dynamic interactions on a Drupal form.

A review of the Form API properties that provide interactive user interface elements by automatically adding JavaScript behaviors to the form elements.

Shows the steps involved in converting a regular table into a table that is sortable by columns that you specify.

Goes into depth about some of the JavaScript constructs and tools that Drupal provides when writing JavaScript for Drupal. Topics include using Drupal.behaviors and variable settings.

There where a couple of changes to the Drupal.behaviors system for D7. You can find out more information about the changes here: http://drupal.org/update/modules/6/7#drupal_behaviors

And more general information about using the new system here http://drupal.org/node/756722

Once you've converted from the old Drupal.behaviors.myModule = function(context) to the new syntax

Drupal.behaviors.myModule = {
attach: function(context, settings),
detach: function(context, settings)
}

The rest is pretty much the same.

Shows how to pass variables from the PHP and Drupal side over to the front-end JavaScript scripts that are running so that you can use the Drupal interface to create customized settings that will appear in your jQuery scripts.

Goes over the Macro Maker demonstration module in order to show what functionality we will be building over the next couple of chapters.
