DrupalCon Atlanta 2025 sessions not to be missed - according to me (ultimike)

Published March 22, 2025
As part of weekly office hours for DrupalEasy students and alumni , I am often asked to suggest sessions at upcoming Drupal events that I think are worthwhile. During one our our most recent DrupalEasy Office Hours, I was again asked to run down the list of my picks from all the sessions at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025 , and afterward I thought that it might make a fun blog post. Of course, I can't in good conscience suggest that my picks are the best for anyone else to attend among the ginormous volume of sessions available. I can share only

Mentoring a team of new contributors at DrupalCon Lille 2023

Published October 25, 2023
One of the signature events of every Drupalcon (IMHO) is contribution day, when community members from around the world gather to work together in the same physical space to advance various aspects of the project - from strategic and community initiatives to contributed modules and themes as well as non-code contributions like Promote Drupal and, of course, core contributions. As part of this, space is always set aside for new contributors, with community volunteers helping to organize, train, and mentor community members new to project contribution. This space strives to be a welcoming environment to those of all skills and

DrupalCon Pittsburgh 2023 Superlatives

Published June 13, 2023
Unless you've been living underneath a Druplicon-shaped rock, you're probably aware that DrupalPalooza Pittsburgh took place June 5-8. If so, I'm guessing that your Drupal newsfeed is full of wrap-up articles and summaries that may feel a bit redundant (I know that mine is and that they do). It is in the spirit of hopefully spicing up your Drupal news consumption that this will not be one of those blog posts. Rather, in my somewhat still high-school-aged mind, I'm rolling back the clock to present the DrupalCon Pittsburgh 2023 Superlatives 🎉 Best session (that I attended): Drupal Distributions & Recipes

The DrupalEasy Learning Community takes on DrupalCon Portland 2022

Published May 8, 2022
About 1,300 people attended DrupalCon Portland, the first in-person DrupalCon since 2019, including a healthy smattering of Drupal Career Online current students, alumni, staff, and mentors. As we made our way through the week, it was not only the sessions and networking I found interesting, but also the insights and points of view of our diverse Learning Community. I thought it would be interesting to get their takes on the DrupalCon experience. Drupal Career Online is a 12-week, 2x/week, best-practice focused Drupal training course. Our next semester begins August 29, 2022. In addition to two current DCO students, several alumni

Introduction to Drupal 8 Module Development Training at DrupalCon New Orleans

Published March 24, 2016

We're pleased to announced that our Introduction to Drupal 8 Module Development full-day workshop has been selected as one of the official trainings for DrupalCon New Orleans! We’re joining forces with Ted Bowman at Six Mile Tech to create and present brand new curricullum for Drupal 8 module development. Module development is more powerful than ever with Drupal 8. Object-orientation, the maturity of Drupal's various APIs, Drupal 8's new underlying Symfony (and other) components, and the emergence of Drupal Console means that developing for Drupal 8 requires new knowledge. Our workshop is designed to introduce existing Drupal developers as well

Don't Be Afraid! We'll Walk You Through It! Migrate in Core Testing Sprint at DrupalCon Austin

Published May 26, 2014

Getting involved with Drupal core development is scary. There's a lot of really smart people involved and it can be intimidating. The learning curve can be steep and an "easy" task can turn into hours of frustration. Your inner voice tries to convince you that you don't know enough to contribute to Drupal core, and your fear of embarrassing yourself has you referring to Drupal core contributors as "them" instead of "us". Luckily, the Drupal community provides a cure for all this. DrupalCon sprints. Imagine a day where the entire community comes together looking (stalking, perhaps) for new contributors, regardless of their skill level, sits them down at tables with some of the most experience developers in our community, and takes the time to take them from zero to productive in less than a day. Sound exciting? It should - and if you're going to be in Austin next week, then there's only one place you should be on Friday, June 6.

Git Down to DrupalCon Sydney Early

Published December 5, 2012

Git’s a ripper Version Control System, and considering its growing adoption, you can’t afford to be a drongo when it comes to leveraging it. No worries though, just head on over to Sydney the day before DrupalCon kicks off, take DrupalEasy’s action-packed Blue Collar Git training, and Bob’s yer uncle! The Yank (that’d be me) from DrupalEasy is putting on this fast-paced workshop that’ll help you master Git and get gobsmacked at how much more effective you get as a Drupal developer, themer or project manager.

A Proposed Method for Improving Session Quality at Future Drupalcons

Published May 11, 2010

Much has been written in the past couple weeks about the recent DrupalCon SF, the vast majority of it overwhelmingly positive. By most accounts, it was a successful event, with the overwhelming majority of attendees leaving satisfied. Granted, the accounts I read come from sites whose posts are aggregated via Drupal Planet - an admitedly very pro-Drupal crowd.

DrupalEasy Workshop and Session Proposals at DrupalCon San Francisco

Published February 26, 2010

Ryan Price and Mike Anello from DrupalEasy will be at DrupalCon San Francisco this April with a (hopefully) full agenda. Workshop: Intro to Theme Development DrupalEasy is proud to announce that we've been selected to present one of the official pre-conference workshops for DrupalCon SF on Sunday, April 18. We'll be teaching our beginner-level Intro to Theme Development workshop. In this course you'll learn the anatomy of a theme, basic XHTML/CSS/PHP, and basic template modifications. By the end of the day, you should be able to take a static HTML theme and turn it into a Drupal theme. The cost for the workshop is $350 and you can sign up on the official DrupalCon SF site.
