Welcome to the Drupal Chicago Meetup!
All are welcome. This month we'll be joined by David Needham, Agency & Community Training Manager at Pantheon and Mike Pirog of Tandem (author of Kalabox).
Kalabox: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and LOVE Local Development
Have you ever had to spend hours debugging someone's local development setup? Perhaps YOUR local development setup? Mike Pirog of Tandem got fed-up with the struggle of onboarding and supporting new developers' tooling. Cloistered in silent contemplation for three years, he created Kalabox, a free and open source integrated workflow solution for local Drupal development.
In this talk Mike will provide answers to your burning questions:
• What is Kalabox?
• How is it different than other local development solutions?
• What is Docker and how does Kalabox use it?
• How can I use Kalabox with a hosting provider like Pantheon?
He'll also share war stories from Kalabox's development, some examples of how teams are using Kalabox RIGHT NOW, and fun facts regarding the life and times of President Franklin Pierce.
Plus:
• Drupal News and announcements
• Site Demos
• Q and A
• Pizza courtesy of Xeno Media!
