Drupal

Every 6 months, Dries Buytaert the founder of the Drupal web development platform presents a State of Drupal. This post is written to look at Dries’ presentation from a consumer point of view.

There are discussions on the web about how to use the Drupal Backup and Migrate Module with CiviCRM. This post provides simple insturctions for doing this by using just configurations settings of Backup and Migrate and not changing your settings.php file.

Yesterday the new version of the Drupal content management system was released in its 7th version. Most of our readers probably say, Drupal? What’s that? 7th version, so what?

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.

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.

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.

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.

 I am in London right now on my way to web development conference with the tool we use to make websites. In my travel journal Thursday I wrote more about the trip.

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).

Denver DataMan uses a system called Drupal for our web development services. We are excited that the new White House website is using Drupal.
