consulting

This is a loose transcript of a talk given by Jon Clark of the Aten Design Group at DrupalCon 2010 San Francisco.

Process is a natural part of our work on the web. A pro-client process is a powerfully persuasive tool to pitch your process.

Aten Design Group has an iterative, client-focused process.

Are you looking to hire a Drupal developer? Do you know how to separate the good Drupal developers from the not-so-snazzy ones?

One of my clients asked me to put together a list of questions to ask prospective Drupal developers to assess their skill set. I came up with six that cover a good swath of the Drupal experience. Spend three minutes on each question, and you'll have a solid 20 minute interview that will tell you a lot about your prospective candidate's Drupal cred.

As mentioned in today's New York Times, Nanosolar has revealed the record efficiency of their low-cost printed solar cells and secured orders for $4.1 billion in orders for its first solar panels.

Spend some time researching Drupal online and you'll probably find a lot of griping about Drupal -- that it's hard to use, or difficult to understand. Lots of people run into roadblocks setting up their first Drupal site, from experienced developers to nontechnical experimenters. Some of this criticism is deserved, but some of it is excessive, and over time a number of Drupal myths have been built up. It's time to do some debunking!
