This will be a hands on meeting to get you up and running with a local Drupal development environment.
- Do you need to quickly spin up local Drupal development environments?
- Are you tired of manually configuring the LAMP stack for local development?
- Do you struggle to remember all the best practices for local development?
Bring your laptop and your learning cap as we dig into vagrant, virtualbox, and chef.
We will start with a short (30min max!) presentation to introduce the concepts and then proceed to the hands on implementation. There is a vast amount of information and detail regarding these topics but we will do our best to get everyone up and running with a new local Drupal 8 development environment.
The following tasks can be completed on your own to prepare for the hands on portion.
- Install vagrant and virtualbox.
- Browse through https://github.com/newmediadenver/drupal-lamp. This is the vagrant build we will use to create local environments.
We convene to eat and socialize starting at 5:45. The actual meeting will start sometime after 6:30. Oxbow Labs is providing the pizza. Monarch is providing the sodas.
Many thanks to BombBomb, who allow us to meet in their great room with shuffle board, foosball and beer!
p.s. Mark your calendar. DrupalCamp Colorado 2014 will be at the King Center in downtown Denver the first weekend of August.
