In episode #106 we talk about getting starting with coding in Drupal. TOPICS Drupal 8 RC1 NEDCamp Recap Mentor IRC Hooks IDE xdebug devel Practice Practice Practice Earth Exchange Webform Hidden Fields Views Template Anatomy of a Module RESOURCES Talk and slides: http://nedcamp.org/new-england-drupal-camp-2015/sessions/scaling-cliff-advanced-site-builders-how-begin-coding   MODULE OF THE WEEK Workbench - https://www.drupal.org/project/workbench Workbench provides overall improvements for managing content that Drupal does not provide out of the box. Workbench gives us three important solutions: a unified and simplified user interface for users who ONLY have to work with content. This decreases training and support time. the ability to control who has access to edit any content based on an organization's structure not the web site structure a customizable editorial workflow that integrates with the access control feature described above or works independently on its own These features benefit the end users as well as Drupal Site Administrators and Technical Support. For Drupal Developers and Site Builders, Workbench provides several additional benefits: a modular architecture: only install and enable the modules you want extensibility: we would love to see more integration with other Drupal modules (in fact we have our eyes on Scheduler and Workflow modules and improvements for Asset Management) HOSTS Stephen Cross - www.ParallaxInfoTech.com @stephencross John Picozzi - www.oomphinc.com @johnpicozzi Nic Laflin - www.nLightened.net @nicxvan

In episode #101 we talk about building a Movie Website with guest Chris Wells http://www.talkingdrupal.com/101   Topics When is the last time you went to the movies? Have you ever thought about how the website is managed? Requirements Content Content StructureAdmin tools   Module of Week Miserywww.drupal.org/project/misery Misery is a module designed to make life difficult for certain users.It can be used: As an alternative to banning or deleting users from a community. As a means by which to punish members of your website. To delight in the suffering of others. The aim of misery is to be not traceable by users on misery list, so misery actions should be sufficiently subtle enough to avoid suspicion.

TOPICS:  Why we are talking about Drupal 8 today? (I should hit pushed record) Drupal 8 - Status, is there an official status It’s done when it’s done Are customers asking? How does an agency prepare? When does an agency prepare? What happens when it comes out…what is your criteria for using it?

What is Bean? Think of a Bean as a method to provide new types (compared to node this would be a content type) which then provides an add content interface to create as many blocks as you require (see screenshot below). The bean content can then be placed around the site just like any other block. Beans were driven by the API first. This means that you can create block types (bean types) all in a plugin class turning off the UI. The entire configuration in code. No worry about feature reverts.
