Sometimes we need to design and build websites that are very custom to our customers. That means high-performance markup and code inserted right into the templates.

Drupal can be used as a powerful framework, where everything is done by code: Markup and data fetching. In this session we cover how we can create complex queries on the fly and then input the data into our markup without a hazzle, manipulate what data we can fetch, without performance issues and fetch data within other structures like Scald and Field Collection modules without using tools like Views.

This session is NOT about talking down to Views, it's more thought as an alternate method, the coders method. But I will cover building a site from ground-up using nothing but code and markup.
