Today we've got two FREE videos for your viewing enjoyment, one about a killer community tool, and the other about a handy module to help you out when working with Drupal databases. In Using IRC (Internet Relay Chat) we look at one of the most over-looked, but most useful community tools available, IRC. IRC is a way to chat online, in real-time with other people, and it is used heavily by the Drupal community. We'll sort out what IRC is, how to get connected, and walk you through some of the basics to get you started.
Our second lesson, Using Schema Module, introduces you to a great way to get information about your database, and a nice, quick way to get Drupal to write some code for you, when it comes to creating your module's install file.
We hope you enjoy these videos, and we'll have some cool new stuff next week, walking you through working with lightboxes in Drupal.
