Want to build good Drupal sites? Go study all ten to twenty thousand modules in the contributed module repository on Drupal.org! Should only take you a few ... oh ...

Get on the right track faster in this session: I have cherry-picked 45 or so modules that you should know about and a few you can't live without.

You'll see and hear rapid-fire, one minute descriptions of essential site-building, SEO, site-administration, accessibility, architecture, utility, and other modules. I will also give you links to a list of key modules to investigate, a handy "list of lists" of more resources, tips on selecting modules, and more.

This session has grown out of a new Acquia podcast series for site-builders, which begins with several episodes of essential modules for new site builders to investigate.
