The WGBH.org Development Blog

A lot of people come up to me and ask “What all is required to rebuild a site like WGBH.org using Drupal?” An excellent question! Rather than continuing to repeat my answer over and over, the time has come to write it down. Please take notes.

First, you need specification documents and a project plan. Preferably, both at least 75% complete.

Next, you need this book: Pro Drupal Development.

Thirdly, you gotta have a comfy chair.

Of course, you must have lots of coffee - black only. Anything less is wimpy.

WGBH is all about accessibility! See? Even our coffee is closed captioned.

Finally, last but most definitely not least in any way, you need … (pregnant pause) … crumb cake!

Ok, technically, it doesn’t have to be crumb cake. Cookies, pudding and ice cream are also acceptable. Use you best judgment. We trust you.

So, you get the idea. Now let’s write some code!
