Why would you use #DDEV instead of a #Node or #Python server directly?

There are significant advantages to using a containerized setup like DDEV. We go over them in this article, and include a step-by-step guide to set it up.

@andy_blum helps introduce DDEV to a new audience that may not know about how useful it can be!

Thanks to the heroic work by @andy_blum @mglaman, & many others, #Drupal now allows you to control the cloning of starterkit themes through a simple YAML file (prev was PHP)!

This is HUGE for themers who want to use core's new starterkit functionality! https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3364885

This is going to be such a massive DX improvement for Drupal Front-End devs!

I said this before: given the number of teachers moving from teaching into software development. I'm surprised not to see panels at conferences with former teachers discussing their path from teachers to developers, and sharing their successes and missteps.

It feels like it would be one of the most useful talks in the conference (no offense to other speakers). That's a difficult transition full of uncertainty. First-hand guidance would be insightful and help steer away from bad experiences.

For real? I'd love to be a part of that, but I've not connected with many ex-teacher devs

The ::part() pseudo-element enables parent DOM CSS to style parts in a child shadowDOM.

Nested components? You have to use the exportparts attribute and allow any ancestor to target a part with styles from outside the shadowDOM.

A little codePen to demonstrate:

@estelle Oh, this is neat! You can even alias the parts to new names!

Every year thereโ€™s a lot of media attention on how much ad slots during the Super Bowl cost. And itโ€™s wild, but not quite as wild as the teaser commercials are in the conference games TWO WEEKS PRIOR.

I mean Iโ€™ve seen at least 5 unique commercials today that ended with some variation of โ€œto be continuedโ€. Literal commercials for commercials

Really nice overview of #drupal recipes, from someone at @imagex_media who (I can only assume) wants to remain anonymous.

https://imagexmedia.com/blog/recipes-new-feature-drupal

@drupalconeur Lille 2023 seemed a bit light on recipe-related content - should I be concerned about the health of this initiative?

andy_blum,
@andy_blum@drupal.community avatar

@ultimike @imagex_media @drupalconeur

I could be wrong but I think recipes are in line behind automatic updates, project browser, and config validation.

@wimleers @alexpott might know better?

Really nice #Drupal module for creating multi-valued form elements in config forms: https://www.drupal.org/project/multivalue_form_element Developed by the @EU_Commission!

@wimleers

The main ones I can think of are installing plugins & doing updates from the site, but that's not an advantage for long!
