Central Denver Drupal Meetup: Tuesday, November 19th, 2019
Are you interested in contributing more to Drupal core or contrib modules but the prospect of writing and running tests is holding you back? Or, are you already writing tests but because local setup is so tough, you lean mostly on your CI infrastructure? Join me for a practical walk-through of local testing. We'll focus on Drupal 8 and phpunit, and do some live-demos of unit, kernel and functional tests.

Prior to Drupal 8, the most common way that a developer would make sure her/his module was extensible was by adding a "hook". While Drupal 8 still makes use of hooks in many places, there is a better way to do things. Actually there are two better ways to do things:
- Writing an Event
- Making your module "pluggable"
In this presentation Marc Isaacson (vegantriathlete) will give you an overview of the Plugin API. If you're looking to learn about writing an event dispatcher, you'll have to go to a different talk.

Unlock Your Tech Career Success: Elevate Your Performance and Value
Soft-skills - Psssh! Who needs them?
To get better at being developers and tech in general, we need to be more than just experts with Drupal. We need to be better listeners - better team members - and at managing our work. These things (self-awareness, listening skills, and the art of influence, to name a few) are overlooked in favor of more and more tech knowledge.
You need tech knowledge - but without these other skills, it won’t get you where you want to go.
Join us for a paid workshop, September 12th at the beautiful new WeWork The Hub location in RiNo (3601 Walnut St).

Drupal has always been very strong at customizing user experiences for authenticated users, but what about anonymous users? What if you wanted to show a new banner block on your home page for first time visitors? Or gate a resource until users have filled out a contact form? For the most part, anonymous user display is determined by the URL path, and per-user customization is dependent on excluding the page from cache, custom Javascript or third parties. In this session, we’ll introduce the Smart Content contributed suite of modules.

Fresh off the heels of DrupalCon Seattle, this month's meetup will focus on the Con itself. What were the highlights, what sessions were our favorites, and what are the take aways for the direction of Drupal. The goal is to allow those who couldn't attend to get in the loop, perhaps bookmark some recorded sessions to go back and watch. Depending on time, we may try to watch part or some of them as well (including the Dries-note).

In this meetup Gabriel Sullice will show us the fundamentals of JSON:API, what it does, and how to take advantage of some of its hidden features. Then we'll take a broad look at what's just over the horizon for API-first Drupal.
