Topics Chef in a nutshell Server configuration management Use Cases What is Chef Chef Components Chef and the Drupal world Resources Chef - https://www.chef.io/ Chef Overview - https://docs.chef.io/chef_overview.html Module of the Week Disable Messages - www.drupal.org/project/disable_messages Gives a site owner options to disable specific messages shown to end users. The core drupal message system as offered by drupal_set_message is an excellent way for modules to send out messages to the end users. However not all drupal site owners are keen to show all the messages sent out by drupal core and all modules to their users. This module gives site administrators a reasonably powerful way to filter out messages shown to the end users.

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
