Andi, the NUAMPS web team’s newest addition, and I spent Saturday at DrupalCamp Chicago. The event featured eighteen sessions with about 300 in attendance; including professional developers, themers, project managers, hobbyists, and beginners. Many were from Chicago, though some, including presenters, had traveled from across the country.
Another useful session was given by Kate Lynch, of Drexel University Libraries, about the importance of including accessibility in your plans while building a website. She gave helpful pointers on what level of detail you should follow depending on your expected audience, as well as how to easily execute such a plan from within Drupal. Within these topics, she also included discussions of the evolving trend of responsive web design.
