Description:
Need to customize an existing form for a site? Hoping to do some form manipulation magic in your module? Baffled by hook_forms? Drupal's Form API provides a powerful set of tools for manipulating and processing HTML forms, but mastering it takes more than tinkering.
This session will feature a guided tour of the Form API workflow, notes about the various hooks your code can use to inject custom behaviors, and explanations of some of the little-understood features the API offers. A Q&A session with Drupal's Form API gurus will round out the presentation.

Description:
The inclusion of the jQuery JavaScript library in Drupal 5.0 has opened up the possibility of more responsive user interfaces. Use of Ajax/Ahah techniques to do incremental page updates can create a more satisfying interaction, but it also requires some rethinking of how you structure your module.
The session will provide an overview of the issues involved in creating JavaScript-enabled forms that do incremental page updates. I will also present my work towards a generic framework which extends the FormAPI to auto-generate the necessary JavaScript.
