awebfactory - web application factory pattern

Here are the presentation notes from my presentation on the last day of DrupalCampLA 2008 (an incredible event, by the way, kudos to the organizers!):

From Business Objects and User Stories to a fully functional test-driven website application

The talk was about this:

Asynchronous Data Processing

100 Websites and Lots of Stats

Shaun Haber & Ethan Kaplan from the Tech Department of Warner Brother Records

Overview

87 sites with 87 databases in a single Drupal environment and lots of data.

A single huge multisite setup. Drupal 5.

Multisite: sharing the same code base and share modules, but each site has its own database, containing a lot of info valuable for data mining, including number of users, etc.

They don't deal with shared databases.

3 Months Later: An (Almost) Beginners View of Drupal

Christoph Weber, The Scripps Research Institute

[My own rough notes to this presentation, very interesting in terms of insight into how people actually use Drupal to construct web applicatoins. A lot of people had left by the time this presentation started, but hopefully the video will enable it to be seen by more Drupaleros]
