Drupalcon Wrap Up

I have not written for a couple of days because I needed to think about all that happened before I could write about it. The last day of DrupalCon was filled with learning, making connections for Denver DataMan and making friends in the community.

Climbing Mountains

Yesterday I heard Diana M. Dupuis (@mooncougar on Twitter) of Four Kitchens say in a presentation about training that users “don’t climb mountains they hike paths.” This is the best way to say what Denver DataMan has been trying to say for a long time. We train users to hike the paths that make sense for them so they can get to the tools they need.

What is foursquare and what does it mean for your business?

foursquare logofoursquare allows users to share their location with friends by “checking in” to businesses via a smartphone application or by text message. When you sign up for foursquare and have the application on your mobile device you can physically walk into a brick and mortar store (hotel, restaurant, etc.) and an alert will notify friends that you are there, in real time, via Facebook or Twitter.

Let The Games Begin

The first full day of programs has been a lot of fun and a lot of learning. Now if talking about how new web technologies are going to make the world a better place is not fun for you, well, then you would probably feel like you were lost in a different world. I must say that at times I feel that way too as my role at Denver DataMan is to work with people who build all the new cool things and that presents the opportunity to learn and grow which isn’t always easy no matter who you are.

Technology in Copenhagen

I have arrived in Copenhagen and started to figure my way around the area. I am very excited about the conference and look forward for the main events tomorrow. The city is great and the Bella Center where the conference is lives up to its name.

Drupal Con. First, what is Drupal. Drupal is a tool used by web developers (including Denver DataMan) to make websites and applications for the Internet. Druapl hosts this site, sites like Columbine Design or Alphabet Workout(our clients) and The White House(not our client).

4 Years in Review

This past year has been a year of record growth for Denver DataMan and has brought us to new heights since last I wrote.

Denver DataMan Drupal Camp Followup

Drupal is a content management system that Denver DataMan uses to implement websites and online tools for our clients. Over the June 26th weekend the Drupal Camp Colorado Silver SponsorDenver DataMan team went to Drupal Camp Colorado to learn more about how to how to make the most of this exciting product. We were also there as Silver level sponsors of the event.

Drilling Deeper

While drilling deeper may be a contentious subject in other areas it is a good thing when Google does it. Google is consistently making updates to the way they index content and in the month of May they released the MayDay updates (they also have funny names like MayDay and Caffeine).
