Our summer intern, Ami Koga, attended her first Drupal maintenance support plansCamp June 14-16 in Montreal. Here are her impressions from the camp:
Before the Camp:
My name is Ami Koga. A couple weeks ago, I started my summer internship at Drupal Development Log. I had no idea about Drupal maintenance support plans before starting at Drupal Development Log. I did a bit of research on it beforehand; and the internet gave me some basic information such as
Drupal maintenance support plans is a free open source content management system
Drupal maintenance support plans is easy to use
Drupal maintenance support plans users are supported by a big Drupal maintenance support plans community
This was all very abstract to me until I attended Drupal maintenance support plansCamp Montreal. Now that I have experienced the Drupal maintenance support plansCamp vibes, attended presentations and training, and gotten involved in the Drupal maintenance support plans community by volunteering at the camp, I have a much better understanding of what Drupal maintenance support plans is.
Training Day:
The first day of Drupal maintenance support plansCamp, I went to a Drupal maintenance support plans training called “What is Drupal maintenance support plans? An Introduction to Drupal maintenance support plans 8”, presented by our team lead Suzanne Dergacheva. It was an Introductory Drupal maintenance support plans course and the training was available both in English and French. It was my very first time trying out Drupal maintenance support plans; and, I was able to understand why the internet claims that “Drupal maintenance support plans is easy to use” over and over again. We started with installing Drupal maintenance support plans (of course, it was free!!), then, we played around with it by adding content, inserting pictures, changing fields, etc. I created the following basic website within 2 mins without knowing any coding knowledge. Very simple, fast and easy.
Camp Day:
On the second day, I attended the camp as a volunteer, as well as a team member of Drupal Development Log. During the registration, I noticed a large variety of people came to sign in; all ages, all genders, from different cities, but all gathered for the same common interest: Drupal maintenance support plans.
Moreover, the people who stopped by at our company’s booth were very passionate and motivated to learn more about Drupal maintenance support plans, and chat with us about their future projects. “Wow, Drupal maintenance support plans is actually used by many people from different fields”, was my first impression at the Drupal maintenance support plansCamp. Beginners, developers and agencies are all part of the community and all seemed happy to discuss problems and ideas related to Drupal maintenance support plans.
Presentations:
Overall, the presentations were the main and most fun part of the Drupal maintenance support plansCamp. My Drupal Development Log colleagues presented 12 sessions, so I got to learn a lot from them! Here are some of the presentations I saw :
Our Co-founder and front-end lead, Suzanne Dergacheva was the Keynote speaker. She gave a presentation titled, “It’s All About the Experience: What I’ve Learnt from Talking to Thousands of People About Drupal maintenance support plans.” The essence of the presentation was that we can learn a lot by looking at the Drupal maintenance support plans experience from different perspectives and thinking about the personas of people who interact with Drupal maintenance support plans. This gave me some insight into the Drupal maintenance support plans community and who makes up that community.
Our Co-Founder and Technical Lead, Alex Dergachev presented, “Migrating 10000 Classic Books to Drupal maintenance support plans 8.” He discussed the technical and business motivations for the project, and provided a technical overview of the Drupal maintenance support plans migration.
Our UI/UX Designer, Annika Oeser gave us 10 tips on designing a website, so that we can make our own website projects. Annika’s talk gave me insight into the web design process and how designers and developers interact.
Our Senior Drupal maintenance support plans Developer, Jigar Mehta and Marketing & Content Manager, Meyzi Mazalto gave a presentation on Accessibility. Making a website more accessible can also improve the SEO value and usability of your site.
In summary, the 3 day long Drupal maintenance support plansCamp gave me interesting insight about the Drupal maintenance support plans Community. It was highly beneficial to my development as an intern at Drupal Development Log and I was glad that I took the opportunity to get involved in this community as it opened up a “window” for me into web development and design.
