Treehouse Agency at Design 4 Drupal Boston 2011

This weekend was Design 4 Drupal Boston and Patrick Macom and I presented two exciting sessions on Raphaël JS, an interactive drawing library for vector graphics on the web. The two back-to-back sessions covered the basics of the Raphaël JS API in the talk, "Outside the Garden: Intro to Raphaël JS" and then moved into advanced integration with Drupal in, "The Drop and the Painter: Drupal and Raphaël JS."

Steven Merrill also lead a Birds of a Feather session on Trends in Front-End Performance and Front-End Performance Metrics. You can see his rough outline here: http://tha.cm/d4d-front-end-performance-bof

Below are our presentations from the event and we'll update with links to the video when they're made available.

If you missed us at Design 4 Drupal, don't worry! You still have a chance to see this talk live! Come check out the Raphaël talk at CapitalCamp in Washington DC in late July. We will also be giving a full talk on optimizing your site's front-end performance.
