I find that it is valuable watching experienced programmers do their work even if I don't understand the core problem they are working on for the following reasons: 1) They always know more about how to use their tools than I do (it seems), and I always learn something about how to work efficiently 2) The discussion provides numerous tips, clues, keywords and fragments that magically pop into place later when I've delved deeper into said core problem. 3) When they run into problems, and then find a solution, this helps me later when I run into a similar problem. Besides, Drupallers are cool people, and personal contact is worth a lot. I say, go for it! -Robert Walt Daniels wrote:
How valuable (to me - not the group) would it be to attend one of these parties as a way of learning core by watching?

Huzzah... more bug squashing to come...
Anyone in the New York City area interested in a bug squashing party? It seems like all the fun is on the left coast and us yanks gets left out :) I am far from a php programmer, but I'd be willing to help coordinate this. School work is light and work isn't too bad at this time. I live out on LI, but a subway ride is no problem. Alternatively, I can drive to an outer borough if Manhattan isn't what you have in mind. --
