Enforcing DRY Concepts in Drupal

posted on 31 Dec 09

Don't Repeat Yourself, or DRY, is a software development principle aimed at speeding development efforts and reducing repetition in code bases. The great part about DRY is that in addition to getting work done quicker, it makes maintaining code much easier: if blocks of code that perform like actions across a site, or across multiple sites, is in fact the same code, making changes and adding features in one place results in those changes being quickly made in all places. Even better? Drupal makes enforcing DRY concepts incredibly easy in many different ways.
