I've been using Vagrant at work for a few months now - and I got into it specifically for mimicking our production environment. If you don't know about Vagrant, I highly suggest you check it out. I recently purchased an iMac and I'm utilizing Vagrant VMs for all development. That means I have a few select environments and my machine is bogged down with extra services or dependency issues.

I just created Navbar Awesome, my latest project on Drupal.org. This module helps take Navbar to a different experience.

Drupal is great at a lot of things, one of those being the feeling of your head banging against the wall. Drupal can lead to some headaches when things just do not work right.

When using Drupal we all know there are two themes: default and administrative. By having two different themes site managers have a better user experience by knowing "this is public," and "this is administrative." It also proves beneficial to have specific administration themes due to the kinds of content and forms that a site manager has to interface with.

Ever since Satya Nadella became the new CEO of Microsoft I've been keeping an eye out on the company. I'm not exactly a fan of Microsoft, but maybe he'll be the driving force that can allow the company to compete in the modern market.

Last week I was down at the amazing Florida Drupal Camp and gave my first Drupal Camp presentation! I've been meaning to do a write up, but life is just too busy right now. So here's the slides at least! http://www.slideshare.net/MattGlaman/rockin-responsive-content-with-pan…

When it comes to Drupal I love entities. Entity display modes provide simplicity in managing how your content is displayed. I used to be hardcore "Fields only" when it came to using Views and displaying content.
