Looking back on 2023
It’s the end of 2023! The end of the year is a special time. We can look at the calendar and say, “I can’t believe the year is already over,” and “This has only been one year?” I always do an end-of-year review of my notebooks to remind myself of the year’s events, successes, or failures to grow from next year. A lot happened this year. Here are a few things I wanted to share.
The Drupal 10 Development Cookbook was released!
The Drupal 10 Development Cookbook came out at the beginning of the year. My goal for the audience was to pivot from Drupal 7 to a “just Drupal” narrative and target anyone working with Drupal from any background.
Thanks to Kevin Quillen for stepping in to help finish the book. Packt had reached out to provide a 3rd edition of the Drupal Development Cookbook for Drupal 10. The work started in late 2022, but about halfway through, I had severe burnout and other obligations and needed help to finish the book. It wasn’t a smooth handoff, which is my fault. I’m grateful that Kevin could see the book through, and I hope it is a great resource for developers using Drupal.
It felt like a hard way to start the year. But I took it as a lesson in better understanding what I can and cannot commit to and setting boundaries for myself.
