I produced an 83 lesson Drupal 9 course over at OSTraining that has one resource that people really seem to appreciate. It's called the Site Building Workflow. It's basically a "best practice" workflow I based the class on.

Well, here it is... (right click to download)

Drupal

I teach people how to build websites in Drupal (https://drupal.org) about 1/2 my working life. (See Most Comprehensive Drupal Course and 3,000,000 Views)

I've used a tool from Acquia (https://acquia.com) for almost 10 years now. They finally EOL'd it last summer and it stopped working this week.

So I went searching for a better way. DevDesktop has been problematic for years. I won't go into all the details - but it was a pain.

I have found the most amazing alternative!

https://github.com/imrodmartin/ddev-gitpod is a fork of some really great coding from https://github.com/shaal/ddev-gitpod. Ofer Shaal (https://github.com/shaal) is a terrifc Drupal developer from Florida and has put this out there for all to use. Essentially it's one click and about 3 minutes later - you have Drupal working with a browser based Visual Studio Code tool all set to go. Yes - you can even do Drupal development on an iPad!

His project installs Drupal with Umami (the demo content) while my fork installs Drupal straight out of the box (that's how we teach it).

Thank you Ofer - what a great tool!

Drupal

My Drupal 8 Beginner Tutorials course on YouTube just hit 3,000,000 views! What a privilege to share Drupal with so many people!

I travel all over the United States teaching Drupal. I suppose I should have kept better track - but the number of students is around 800-900 over the past 9 years. I love teaching people and seeing the "light come on over their head".

Here's the link to the course: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtaXuX0nEZk9MKY_ClWcPkGtOEGyLTyCO
