Learning the Craft of Marketing and Selling Drupal ServicesMediacurrent
Drupal is at an inflection point. The open-source project has gone from a dorm room experiment to a thriving international community with hundreds of thousand of participants (developers, designers, marketers, business owners, etc.). While the recent adoption trends have been positive, the content management system (CMS) space is becoming more competitive. The proprietary CMSs are starting to take notice and the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) campaigns against Drupal have just begun. In this session, we will explore and recommend ways to better position, sell, and market Drupal. We will share actual success stories from the trenches of how large, enterprise-level Drupal deals were won (and lost).
Creating a Blog in Drupal 8 & Configuration APIMediacurrent
What's new and improved in Drupal 8 content types, fields, and views? In this session we walk through what creating a content type in Drupal 8 looks like. Most of this will be familiar to Drupal 7 users but there are several nice additions and changes to the UI that are covered. We will also take a look at views in core, and what can be built without using any contributed modules. And last but not least we will discuss how the Configuration API makes managing your site's configuration in code possible. You will see how you can import and export your configuration as well as store you it in a custom location to fit into your deployment workflow.
The Omega Drupal 7 Base Theme is a highly configurable HTML5/960 grid base theme that uses built-in media queries to make the site responsive. Each zone (group of regions) can be configured for content first layouts, that resize and rearrange themselves depending on the screen size of the user's device.
The presentation will walk-through the theory behind Omega's mobile-first approach, how to use the many configuration options on the theme settings page, pitfalls to avoid, and what's on the forecast for Omega 4.x!

To those of us Drupal developers getting started with Symfony, there's a whole new set of vocabulary words we need to learn. In this SlideShare presentation, I cover a few of the key things you need to know about the new terminology in Drupal 8 including:
-YAML
-Composer
-PSR-0
-Dependency Injection
-Service Containers
-Routing
The Drupal community has been anxiously awaiting the official release of Drupal 8 since it was announced in 2011. To IT professionals and Drupal developers, the improvements and benefits are clear. The advanced Symfony2 framework leverages some of the best and most scalable technologies available.
But what about from a business perspective? Even if a major redesign was not on your short-term horizon, we highly recommend educating yourself on what the release of Drupal 8 means to your organization from a digital investment standpoint. In our upcoming webinar, we partner with Mediacurrent to outline the key features Drupal 8 contains to help meet your business and brand objectives.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
How Drupal 8 is helping Marketing Departments leverage their website as the most powerful branding and lead generation tool

How a Content Delivery Network Can Help Speed Up Your WebsiteMediacurrent
In this day and age, time is money—both for website developers and site visitors. Page load times can be the difference that impacts search engine rankings, ad revenue, and overall sales. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will cut the load time of assets between 20-50%, especially for users outside of the United States which amounts to an improved customer experience.
By speeding up CDNs, with geographically distributed servers, you can help deliver the fastest possible download for all users. In the past, CDNs were cost prohibitive and mostly reserved for sizable organizations who could afford to pay thousands of dollars per month. Recently, there has been an overall shift in CDNs that even the lowest traffic web sites can afford.
RFPs can be useful. But when building complex custom websites, they can actually be more hurtful than helpful.
This presentation is for two groups of people:
Clients who are planning on building a complex custom site on a CMS.
Vendors who want to stop responding to RFPs but are having trouble explaining why RFPs are detrimental to the development process.
There are better ways to do things, and hopefully this will explain how.
This is based on a presentation done at the Drupal Dojo. If you'd like to get the full experience, check out the webinar with my full presentation.
