Our most exciting development of the year is that we’re exploring beyond Drupal. Not because we don't still love Drupal, but because we recognize that there is more to being a well-rounded developer than just a single technology. We’re still dedicated to Drupal and our community, and we want to extend that into other open source projects.

We've updated our Configuration Management series with new tutorials on deployment workflows as well as updated tutorials on managing and inspecting configuration with Drush (now with Drush 9 commands). We've also done some re-arranging and moved our tutorials about using Drupal's Configuration API in a module to a new series, Configuration Entities. Finally, we've added a new tutorial on setting up and using Drush Site Aliases, since this is a prerequisite for completing the new tutorial Live vs. Local Configuration Management. Happy configuration managing!

We're excited to announce a new series, Getting Started with React and Drupal: 15 tutorials covering everything you need to know in order to get started using React on your current Drupal project.

We've redesigned our guides and would love to hear what you think.

Here are some of the updates we've made to tutorials this past quarter at Drupalize.Me, including 8.5 updates and new videos for Automated Testing tutorials.

Twin Cities DrupalCamp is coming up -- June 7th-10th -- and we'll be attending and presenting our popular Theming Drupal 8 workshop.

DrupalCon Nashville is right around the corner and we're stoked to not only be attending DrupalCon, but to also be providing our Drupal 8 Theming workshop once again.

This week, we've published more tutorials for our Drupal Development with Docker series, a new video series from KnpUniversity that will get you up and running with Symfony 4, a brand new set of tutorials: Introduction to Composer for Drupal Users, and another Form API tutorial.

In November 2017, Symfony released its latest major version: Symfony 4! That's great! Right? But what does this mean for Drupal? And more importantly, what does it mean for your Drupal projects?

There's been an ongoing discussion about the state of documentation on Drupal.org. Sparked by this blog post by Matthew Grasmick which examines Drupal's failure to provide easy-to-follow installation documentation. To which Dries responded suggesting that we consider how we might evolve Drupal's documentation leadership and governance. I thought it would be worthwhile to share some of the lessons learned helping with the Drupal 8 User Guide in order to move the conversation forward.

The interest in creating decoupled/headless/API-first Drupal sites has been growing for a while. As the interest grows, and more sites are implementing this architecture, there is a growing list of articles and discussions about it. Drupal is a great backend for these kinds of sites, and React is the most popular JavaScript framework being used for frontends. While Drupal and React are both well-established technologies with a wealth of documentation, the interaction between the two, and best practices around that interaction, are still developing. We've pulled together the best resources we can find on a new site, React for Drupal.
