Drupal Camp Asheville 2024 - July 12th-14th
Two requirements that come up constantly on projects are “How do we make it easier for non-technical users to update our website?” And “How can we give content editors more flexibility?"
The TL;DR is that sketching is a fast way to communicate intentions clearly, iteratively, and collaboratively, and is crucial in my lean discovery and UX processes. Let me show you what works for me.
This training is for people who have to use CSS occasionally (e.g. back-end devs/designers/power editors) or people that are getting with CSS and know the basics. Our goal is to help attendees feel comfortable styling a page from scratch, knowing what styles work best for different scenarios, and feel comfortable debugging layout and styling issues.
The goal of this training is to help people who are familiar with CSS but find it frustrating, or want to learn more about how it works. We'll start by talking about how CSS was designed to work, what it wants to do, and then talk about the major parts of it.
Backdrop CMS is the Drupal fork.

This session will highlight the Backdrop Mission, it's intended audience, and it's guiding principles.
In this session we'll learn how to gather, clean, and visualize Drupals usage statistics using essential data science tools.
Participants will leave the session with a host of ideas on how they can use these tools to analyze their own data; both for client work and within their organization.
We'll cover:
Nearly every new project focuses heavily on the flashy design and fancy tools it'll make for its visitors.

Design systems are all the rage these days, but what exactly is a design system? How do you know when you need one? In this session we'll cover the following:
In a user-first world, content is the basis for ensuring great user experience. A content audit lays the groundwork for aligning organizational objectives with site visitor needs. It is the preparatory work for the site architecture, content model, and page layouts. It addresses content governance and the content creation process.
