Training

We at Mediacurrent work with several Drupal hosting partners and one of them is Pantheon. Their platform and tooling provide great ways to make the best of your Drupal or WordPress websites. In this week’s Learning Bits tutorial, I decided to record a walkthrough of how to set up DDEV-Local with Pantheon so you can easily have local instances of your Pantheon websites for development purposes.

Web services are a treasure trove of tools, content and data. I'll be exploring how we can use Drupal's frameworks to tap into these services. From strategy and selecting the right approach, to triggering, encoding and sending HTTP messages, I'll walk through how you might go about writing a custom integration that puts your Drupal build into a conversation with the outside world. I'll follow up with real world examples I've built to interact with NASA's ECHO service and Twitter.

Most of us create modules or themes as part of our daily jobs but only a fraction of them get released. This talk discusses an adjustment to how we think about creating modules/themes that make it so almost every module is released for just a small investment in time. Think of the benefits for you, your company and the community if you could increase your contributions by even one percent.
