As a developer, having your hand in the stream of information within your field is a job necessity. We tend to watch things we're interested in, debate the issues we are passionate about, and ignore the ancillary.
Well, what if I told you that the ancillary, especially within Drupal, was key to making your life easier?
It's been a major focus in Drupal 7, especially with the user, but User Experience (UX) principles have just as much potential within developer circles too!
I know. I know. These are probably some of the questions you're asking yourself:
- How could long, drawn-out functional specifications help me learn Drupal hooks?
- Why is A/B testing important when I'm creating a custom form?
- What is the point of walking through a Heuristic Markup exercise when all I'm doing is making the block appear?
- Even more, why do I care about these principles AT ALL?
All great questions! You'll just have to vote for my session at Drupalcon Chicago and come prepared for mind 'splosion!
Our planning for DrupalCon is in full force! Along with sessions, we have some fun little--and maybe not so little--ideas cooking...sign up for our monthly newsletter to get the latest Treehouse news, best of our blog, and the little hints we drop along the way to Chicago! (Here's a freebie...they're baaack!)
