This session is aimed at newcomers to Drupal who have a fair understanding of PHP, or a background in another programming language. It introduces the concept of hooks and detail a few of the most common ones. If you've ever wanted to write Drupal modules but just needed someone to give you a push or lay the groundwork, or if you know you'll need to program custom modules someday, or are just curious about why Drupal is a great framework for any web application, this is your session.
