Despite such a wise dictum and lots of personal experience to teach us otherwise, we find continued pressure to dive into projects with little to no planning in efforts to “go faster”.

However the goal we set ourselves was to reduce Drupal development time by 80% and this session is to share the invaluable lessons we have learned in the quest to go much, much faster.

Displaying trending content is important to any site. Luckily for Drupal, we have the perfect tool – the Radioactivity module. In this session we will walk through the most common and even the more innovative use cases for the tool. By the end of this session, you will ace all the various settings and scenarios.

We will take you on a magical journey through code and print using Drupal as our vessel of discovery. Ok, maybe not, but we have been busy working with Drupal to decouple our data from where and how it is presented.

The University of Kent has a history of using Dreamweaver as our main publishing platform for web. We used it for publishing news, the online prospectus, events, pretty much everything. This led us to a situation where we found ourselves with 200,000 pages of content, much of which being duplicated and leading our web editor to the verge of breakdown.
