I started working with Drupal full time in 2007. I knew back then I was on to a winner, as none of the other open-source systems I evaluated at the time offered the same power and flexibility. It took a while for mainstream web development community to catch on, but over the years the Drupal community has seen massive growth, and now Drupal powers some of the biggest sites on the internet, well over 1 million websites.

Recently I was working in a project, that required some nice predefined css3 animation on different elements. I was wondering if I could achieve it without using javascript and do it fast. Here how I did it:

A quick way to use LESS pre-process and animate.css functionality to make your frontend nice and smoothly animated without any javascript involved.

Did you expect to see how Drupal 8 improves multilingual tasks at NYC Camp? Well, bad luck! I'd like to apologise in place of the NYC Camp team for their messing up the schedule yesterday and their lack of communication following. I was told to set up for my presentation in a room that was not even meant to be a presentation room, let alone my presentation room, even though it was confirmed by several volunteers coming to the room.

Everybody is writing about Heartbleed this week. The reason? It probably affects more people than any other vulnerability we've ever seen.

This is a method can be used for all the forms. Two steps here:

Don't Become Another Statistic

With the recent scuttlebutt about the HeartBleed Bug we decided to throw together an infographic covering the trends of cyber crime. We recently published an infographic on the Top Ten OWASP Security Risks, but this is more focused on the alarming statistics behind cyber crime. 

In just over two weeks, The St. Louis Drupal User's Group will host St. Louis' first ever DrupalCamp. The final sessions were announced last week and it's shaping up to be an awesome experience for a wide variety of folks looking to learn more about Drupal.

At Museums and the Web earlier this month Ken Rickard and I ran a developer training seminar for the still-in-alpha-but-getting-there Drupal 8. It was a small group, which wasn't surprising given the event. One of the most interesting things about it, though, was that there was only one PHP developer in the room.

First thing, have a D6 site with multilingual things ready to go! This node has a file attached (see end of post) with a copy of D6 with some translated nodes and site information (see settings.php file settings to translate these variables). The file is a drush archive.

D6 "Requirements" at this time:
