Drush is a command line and scripting interface to Drupal and has a growing community of modules that allow you to rapidly provision, maintain and develop Drupal sites. Drush takes a many-step task and replaces it with a single command - e.g. "drush pm update" will find the latest stable versions of each site module from the Drupal.org, propose any updates, back up the old versions, download the new versions and unpack. This session will get you started and productive with this great tool.
