How to Evaluate Modules and One-on-One Mentorships

Sep 6, 2011

How to Evaluate Modules Chapter Released

This week we're releasing the second-to-last chapter in our "Build Your First Drupal 7 Web Site" collection. These 11 videos take you through the process of evaluating whether a module is a good fit for your project, and if it's going to work for you in the long run. We also introduce you to IMCE, a useful media manager and talk about troubleshooting permission issues.

One-on-one mentorships

If you have some Drupal skills you want to share in the form on a mentorship, or could use an experienced Drupal mentor as you work through a complicated project, we've set up a page to be able to connect you to the right person. The videos on Build a Module.com provide a great framework of learning resources that you can leverage to enhance the mentorship and optimize time.

If you would like to be a mentor, simply fill out your profile on your user account page, and if you want to see a full list of mentors, go to the One-on-one Training page.

Developer, trainer, enthusiast

Welcome! If you are here to confirm that I'm a real person with verifiable skills, you may want to look at my projects. If you're curious about my Drupal work, one good example is Build a Module.com, the 50+ hour collection of original Drupal videos to help up and coming site builders, developers and themers learn Drupal. If you're looking for signs of my recent engagements with the world, I occasionally post updates to my blog and Twitter.

I have been a Drupal freelancer for the last several years, though I've recently been focusing my full-time efforts on Build a Module.com. I conducted a highly rated training at Drupalcon 2010 with an associate, and am now focusing on virtual training through concise video tutorials. I'm passionate about learning from those around me (as you'll find out if we chat), and oddly enough I find that training is one of the best ways to learn from others.

I often do presentations, in a large part because I enjoy the process of boiling down ideas into their most essential components. That same practice also draws me to usability and understanding the impact of simple, effective design. I'm a huge fan of improving productivity and getting the most out of life, be it through GTD, jogging or quiet contemplation. When I'm not plugging away at some venture or another, I write electronic and acoustic guitar music. I also once ran a relay across the USA.

If you have any questions, please send me an e-mail.
