Getting off the island

As a back-end developer, one of the surprising and fun things about this Drupalcon is how much I have learned about front-end and theming in Drupal. This has been my way of "getting off the island" and learning about things a little outside my normal comfort-zone.

The kitchen table track at Drupalcon Dublin

There were two things that were the impetus for this. Firstly, I came to Dublin with Pascal https://www.drupal.org/u/hydra who works with us at erdfisch as our front-end development expert. I spent the weekend learning (and documenting) our approach to rendering content in flexible ways to achieve more sophisticated output of content than Drupal usually allows. In a nutshell, this allows us to provide very sophisticated front-end design.

The module driving this is called "seem". We were working on it this morning at the kitchen table.

Exam time

The second thing that happened was that Stefan https://www.drupal.org/u/sanduhrs and I decided to jump in and take the Drupal 8 Acquia Certified Developer Exams. Stefan has passed the two Drupal 8 Exams this week (Acquia Certified Drupal 8 Site Builder and Acquia Certified Developer Drupal 8 Front-end Specialist).

I passed the Acquia Certified Drupal 8 Site Builder and am taking the Front-End Specialist exam tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

All this has, of course, given me lots of motivation to go to sessions related to front-end and theming this Drupalcon. More to come on that in another blog post.
