It is with a lot of exuberance that I announce that http://www.thehotreportonline.com/ has been launched this evening. This project was long, and very satisfying, and a great learning experience. This project at times felt a little like it was never going to end, and go live but alas today is has been moved over to the live production server. There are some very interesting design challenges on this site, the use of the content as the actual subnavigation was interesting because the site's owners didn't always have the same number of stories in each section.
Last night was the NYC Drupal August meetup at Mansueto's offices at 7 World Trade Center. This was the first meetup under a new more structured format, of lightening talks, and then splitting the group into newbies and ninjas. During the lightening talks last night, I gave a quick run through my current projects. I first ran down Hot Report's functionality, how I took it from designer's comp and functional specification and some of the modules and the dealt with output from the views.
