DrupalCon Portland 2013: RULES WITHOUT THE UI

This talk, presented by David Kitchen from Commerce Guys, explores how to leverage the full capabilities of the Rules module in Drupal without relying on the user interface. The session covers the importance of the Rules module for creating event-driven actions in Drupal Commerce and discusses the limitations of exporting rules through Features for dynamic site configurations. The speaker offers a brief introduction to coding for rules, detailing how to write module event triggers, conditions, and actions. He also explains the use of hook_default_rules_configuration() and hook_default_rules_configuration_alter() to effectively include rules within modules without the necessity of Features.
