Every year Real Story Group (RSG) releases an updated snapshot of the web CMS market. Where will Drupal 8 be placed on the 2015 RSG snapshot?

Forms are an essential part of any web application. They are the primary mechanism for collecting input from our users, and without them Drupal wouldn't be very useful. As such, they're also one of the first things people want to learn when they start learning Drupal. Forms are fundamental to creating Drupal modules, whether you're asking someone to leave a review of your video or giving an administrator the option to turn JavaScript aggregation off.

In an earlier post, Kyle wrote a great introduction to the new configuration management system in Drupal 8. He demonstrated how end users can leverage this new system to easily migrate site configuration between environment, which helps eliminate the "did you remember to check the boxes in the right order?" problem for site builders everywhere. In this post, I take a look at configuration management from the perspective of a module developer. What do we need to write in our custom code to ensure that our configuration settings are easy to deploy?

This week we continue our learning series, Working with Media Module in Drupal 7. In these lessons, Addison explains the many considerations of managing media in a content management system, how you can use Drupal and the Media module to manage and display all kinds of media, and how you can utilize images in several different ways. If you've been wondering how to place images using a WYSIWYG editor or how to create a gallery, these are the lessons you've been waiting for.

In our podcast episode 34, Kyle is joined by Kevin Colligan, Sr. Director/Head of Digital Media for the GRAMMY Awards, and Nate Haug, Senior Drupal Architect at Lullabot, to discuss how GRAMMY.com is powered by Drupal.

Over the last few weeks, we've made several updates to the site. Most of these updates were backend and infrastructure tweaks, which help us provide the smooth service you've come to expect. But we've made also some notable user-facing improvements. Curious to learn more?

Pictures. Podcasts. Videos. If you've ever tried to incorporate rich media files into your web site using only Drupal core, you probably got a shiver down your spine when I said that. Fortunately there is a solution.

Getting involved in any community on a professional or personal level can be intimidating at first. How do you add value and contribute to something that already has so much community involvement, innovation, and growth? It’s easy to feel like you're trying to catch a runaway train.

This week, as we continue our Webform Basics series, I walk through the many settings of the Webform module. I cover email settings, form settings, and global Webform settings. All of which will help make your form behave exactly how you want it!

At the end of last year, our team outlined our goals for 2014 and reviewed our internal processes. We devised a new plan for managing our site development, and it has proven quite successful.

In a continuation from my first post, "An Introduction to RESTful Web Services in Drupal 8", I now want to explore how Views interacts with REST in Drupal 8. Please join me!

In this week's episode, Object Oriented PHP, I'm joined by Lorna Jane Mitchell and Joe Fender to step outside of Drupal a little and look at the larger PHP landscape.

This week, we're wrapping up our series on Webform Basics. In these final lessons of the series, we'll cover administrative tasks such as security, spam control, and results analysis. Even if you're not using Webform, you'll be able to apply the strategies from the "Adding Spam Protection Using Honeypot" lesson to prevent spam on your site.

This week we turn our attention back to the Working with Media Module in Drupal 7 series. We have a basic site in place, and now we need to add some features to make it rich with media. These three videos walk through the steps to create good-looking image galleries. They also show how we can work with third-party JavaScript libraries to enhance features on our site. Finally we add a listing page and front page block so users can find our new galleries.

In our latest podcast episode we have two guests, Klaus Purer (klausi) and Lin Clark (linclark) joining Addi and Joe Fender to talk about the new REST module that has been added to Drupal 8 core.

Some of you may have noticed that, for several hours on Friday evening, the drupalize.me site was unavailable. We're very sorry! We've been working hard lately, building some nifty new features. To let you in on a little secret, we've been working on a fancy new subscription system that will allow subscribers to choose 6 month or 1 year subscriptions instead of just monthly. W00t! Many of you have requested this. We were working on this new feature when we made an error (insert sad trombone sound) that required us to temporarily take the site down.

Every week we update the content on Drupalize.Me. Many times the updates are in response to a member who used the "Was This Helpful?" form at the bottom of every tutorial. It might be fixing a typo; updating a code example; or adding/removing/clarifying a sentence, section, or entire tutorial. We've published major updates to tutorials in our Automated Testing course and our Acquia Certification Study Guides, along with many other updates throughout the site for Drupal 9. Read on to learn about the updates we've made to tutorials, topics, guides, and more at Drupalize.Me.

Amber writes about her involvement with the Bug Smash Initiative and how she's found it to be a fun and rewarding way to contribute to Drupal core.

I recently ran into an issue while working on a Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 migration where the migration_lookup process plugin would sometimes return an array, and sometimes return a string. This inconsistent output caused issues when the plugin is configured with multiple source migrations. To figure out a solution I had to take a deep dive into the logic of the migration_lookup plugin -- and this is what I learned.

There are 2 big changes in Drupal 10 that have a huge impact on documentation: the new default public-facing theme, Olivero, and the new administrator-facing theme, Claro. In this post, I’ll explain how we've automated creation of screenshots for the Drupal User Guide to help deal with these changes, and what our plans are to ship a new Drupal 10 version of the Drupal User Guide.
