Intro to Data Migration

Migrating data from legacy sites is one of the major hurdles developers face when working on site rebuilds. Data can come from many sources (databases, XML, CSV, another Drupal site). In this session we'll examine some common strategies for migrating data into Drupal and discuss pitfalls associated with each one. We'll also demo some of the methods and examine code that migrates data using the different techniques. Some familiarity with module building and code is assumed.
