Does Features make you want to break your guitar? Do you wonder why that #$!@ feature won’t revert? Think you should put all your stuff in one huge feature and just hope for the best?

Give up amature hour! Understand and architect your features like a rock star (with more cowbell)!!

Using the Features module can be a wild ride, especially if the features structure is not well thought out before you start.

We'll cover

• What is the Features module and why should it be used
• Features + Drupal components, what is important
• Crazy ways the use of Features can go wrong
• Safe and sane ways to create and organize your features
• Using features with multiple developers
• How to add more cowbell!

About the lab

This session can be structured as a lab or as an standard session. As a lab, each attendee will be given access to a site where they can build and destroy Features with careful guidance.

Lab attendees must bring a laptop setup for Drupal 7 and, optionally, a cowbell ;)
