Webinar Future Proofing for Drupal 9
I was fortunate to have been able to present a free webinar later this month on Thursday, August 20, 2020 from 2pm - 4pm EST on Future Proofing for Drupal 9!
A similar workshop was presented last year at Acquia’s Engage conference in New Orleans and was positively received. Topics covered include:
Preparing for the actual update (steps to take before you update)
Make sure the update doesn't break : all_the_things on your existing site / platform
Utilize best practices to make the update easier.
We’ll be examining the update and migration process from older versions of Drupal (6/7) AND Drupal 8!
I want to give a special thanks to Drupal 4 Gov for inviting me back to do this webinar! Drupal 4 Gov sponsors this webinar series throughout the year and Drupal GovCon, usually held onsite in Bethesda, Maryland at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Although, this year, DGC will be entirely remote on September 24th and 25th, 2020. I just learned this week that two of my sessions were accepted to the conference. I’ll be giving an introduction to using IDEs (My First IDE) and a tutorial in setting up Automated Accessibility Testing using Pa11y. I’ll share more information on these sessions here on the blog once I know the schedule. Again, this is a totally free conference and one of the largest Drupal camp’s in the US and this year it’s totally remote due to Covid! Take advantage of the fact that you don’t have to travel to Washington DC to enjoy the content.

2020 has been a year of significant and chaotic change for many companies and workers as they transition into remote work.
