Recently a post appeared which stated Drupal became the Scientology of open source and because it appeared in a reply of a few tweets involving me and it contains my name, I need to answer it.
> The goal of the Drupal project is, by design, one that is perpetual: to build and maintain the Drupal software. It is implicitly assumed that this is so, because the web is always changing.

The Twelve-Factor Drupal Web App29th May 2013Darrendrupaldrupal-planetTL;DR
Drupal is a good choice as a platform for building web apps thanks to devops advances that work around PHP's inadequacies as a modern programming language. Web app builders can benefit from the extensive ecosystem of Drupal modules, and the unrivalled community support, while still complying (almost) with the best...
A client recently asked if form labels can be displayed within a form element. More specifically, they wanted the field labels on the user login and registration page to be placed inside of the field or overlaid.
This can easily be achieved using JavaScript or a jQuery plugin. Seeing as the site was built using Drupal, I went in search for a module to do the trick and found two modules: Compact...
DrupalCon Portland was action-packed and exhausting for me. I participated in fifteen architectural discussions with core developers, presented at three core conversations and participated in four others, and helped organize the biggest sprint in DrupalCon history (with somewhere between 600 and 800 attendees, as well as fifty or so mentors in our bright green shirts). The part I'm most proud of...
It is that time of year. Everything is getting a little greener. The days are warming up. Drupalcamp Colorado is almost upon us! Last year the local community in Colorado decided to skip hosting what is one of the best Drupalcamps around. Why? Because we put on Drupalcon and there was a fair bit of fatigue following the event. Well, not so this year. The camp site is up and running! It...
Blogging tools and user experience have moved on quite fast in recent years. After spending a lot of time automating and markdownifying my coding and authoring workflows it suddenly felt kludgy to to fill small webforms and fighting with the markup filters to get something decently formatted and published. Consider also the time spent on spam fighting -- it was clearly the time to move on to a...
Although Views is one of the most useful Drupal modules, it's also one of the most complex. As I started thinking about how to discuss the advanced features of this module, I realized that simply cranking out another narrowly focused tutorial wasn't really going to be the best approach.
What we're going to do instead is talk about a couple of the key concepts - basically get some important...
Drupal is all about content management, which makes it the perfect solution for any media outlet. But each outlet, whether newspaper, television, or magazine, has specific needs to be considered when building their Drupal site.
Mediacurrent recently partnered with Acquia to record this webinar. In it, you will learn how to build a killer Drupal-based website that meets the needs of any...
On the surface, Drupal makes a great content management system. Flexible fields, custom types of content, and more make it seems ideal and ready to take on any content or application requirements. Work with Drupal past the surface and soon you'll find that those dream features have very real limits and running into them can hurt. Badly.

TimOnWeb.com: Using Hash Value (track_changes) To Detect Source Data Changes in Migrate for Drupal 7
When you import data with Migrate (http://drupal.org/project/migrate) it is nice to have ability to update already imported data if source has changed. To track updated data Migrate uses highwater marks (more on this: http://drupal.org/node/1223936). Highwater mark is a column of a source data which has timestamp of the last data change. However, the problem with highwater mark is that you don't...
