In this post, let’s cover how you can set up your Windows machine for optimal Drupal development (or PHP in general). I’ll be covering Windows 10 but this could very well apply for other versions.
With the intention to stay ahead of the awful Saturday traffic in Bangalore, I reached quite early for the second open source Bangalore meetup.
The Docker meetup #21 started with Neependra giving an account of DockerCon 2016 held in Seattle. This was followed by an introduction to Docker 1.12 by Ajeet Singh Raina which focused on orchestration.
Things have gotten busy after DrupalCon Asia which meant that the Drupal meetup we hold in Bangalore every month was a little difficult to organize. Srijan Technologies stepped up and offered their office space in Whitefield, Bangalore. They also took care of snacks and even lunch for all the attendees. Kudos to Srijan for organizing the meetup. Thank you!
Now, token is a module everyone needs and no one knows, especially after token is mostly in core since Drupal 7. How can that still be dev two months after Drupal 8 final?!
The meetup started with DigitalOcean’s India representative introducing us to the company and their plans for India. They gave out stickers and T-Shirts and spoke about how DigitalOcean is opening a data center in Bangalore.
I recently wrote about trying out Ubuntu 16.04 desktop on my other blog. I don’t really use Ubuntu on my laptop but I like to keep up with updates. However, I do use Ubuntu on a couple of my servers and I thought of upgrading on one of them. I was already using PHP 7 for the application there and I figured that would be the easiest one to get started. Well, it didn’t work out but it was a nice learning experience.
It seems strange but there were no github meetups in India until today. At least that is what people are telling me. Tesco organized a github meetup in Bangalore at Marriott Whitefield and it was a huge success. There were 500 RSVP’s and the hall filled up. It was also at an unusual time compared to other meetups. The conference started at 5:30 PM and was scheduled to go on until 11 PM (with dinner).
DrupalCon Asia Day 2 dawned bright and promising. I was excited to know who would win the visualization challenge and hoping it was me. I wanted that Royal Enfield Classic 350.
DrupalConASIA is here!!! I am back in the busy city of Mumbai and in the premises of IIT Bombay, which also saw DrupalCamp Mumbai last year. This time, it is a much bigger conference; in all ways. More people, more sessions, more community, more fun.
