Maximizing Learning and Networking: Insights from DrupalCamp New Jersey
A DrupalCamp is a one- or two-day event that centers on the Drupal open source web content management system, and tends to bring together people from a geographical region. The goals are primarily, of course, knowledge sharing and increasing awareness of and helping to grow the Drupal community. It's not easy to do this without also increasing awareness and knowledge of the tools we all use along with Drupal as well, which makes the gatherings all the more valuable.

Replacing jQuery parents() with CSS :has()
CSS has been on a roll for a few years and we keep getting great things to use. In the process of removing jQuery from
Drupal core, we’re running into the problem of replacing jQuery .parents() method
by something else. In certain conditions it is very easy to use CSS selectors to replace this method. Given the
following HTML:
<html>
<body>
<main>
<article id="article-19"></article>
</main>
</body>
</html>
To select all the parents of the article tag with jQuery you could do:
// This returns: main, body, html
$('#article-19').parents();
// This returns: body
$('#article-19').parents('body');
The typical way of doing this is with a while loop looking at the parentElement and building the array manually.
Now with :has() it becomes much easier:
// This returns: html, body, main
document.querySelectorAll(':has(#article-19)');
// To return the same order as jQuery:
Array.from(
document.querySelectorAll(':has(#article-19)')
).reverse();
// This returns: body
document.querySelectorAll('body:has(#article-19)');
The only limitation is that a unique identifier needs to exist to build the CSS selector, that’s easy enough to generate if necessary.
Use the platform. When it’s good, it’s really good.

AstroJS and Drupal
Senior Drupal Engineer
Mike has been part of the Four Kitchens crew since 2018, where he works as a senior engineer and tech lead for a variety of Drupal and WordPress projects.
January 1, 1970
There are many different options available for the organization or team that decides it is time to decouple their Drupal site. There are frameworks that are designed for static site generation (SSG) and there are others that use server-side rendering (SSR), with many that claim to do both well.
React and NextJS have been popular options for a while now, and they are well-loved here at Four Kitchens as well. Another framework that is a little different from the above is Astro, and it may be worth considering.

Skills Upgrade: Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 - a community story
The Drupal Association has published this guest blog on behalf of author John Picozzi, in collaboration with Chat Hester, Stephen Cross, Nic Laflin, Mike Anello, and AmyJune Hineline.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
In my mind, the above quote distills the Drupal Community down to one sentence and perfectly describes its mission. Many in the community also use “Come for the code, stay for the community” to highlight that Drupal is more than just open-source software; it’s a community of committed citizens focused on helping each other, growing skills, and developing world-changing open-source software. As many are aware, Drupal 7 will reach end-of-life (EOL) at the end of this year. Many are working to move their sites to Drupal 10, while others are looking to “Level Up” their skills to work with the latest and greatest Drupal version. This story highlights the journey of one developer and how we as a community came together to help him (and hopefully many others) achieve Drupal 10 readiness.
Our story starts with Drupal Slack and the following message from Chad Hester (chadhester).
“Hey, I have an idea that I wanted to run by you… Since I'm looking for more contracting work, getting back in to Drupal development is on my radar. I haven't done development work since Drupal 7, though. I'm out of practice since ~2015. There are lots of people who learn Drupal for the first time, but I wonder if anyone has documented their experience re-learning Drupal. Perhaps that's something that could be good as a Talking Drupal mini-series. What do you think?”

9 Ways to Make the Most of the EvolveDrupal Summit
Hi there! I’m Jasmin Merchant, a Front-End Developer at Evolving Web. A few years ago I knew very little about the open web. That all changed when I started working here and was plunged into ongoing learning opportunities.
The EvolveDrupal Ottawa summit in 2023 was a big part of my learning curve. Hosted by Evolving Web, the event was a chance to gain new knowledge about development, accessibility, UX, digital strategy, and many other relevant topics.
What’s more, it was a great introduction to networking. This was my first tech summit and I had only moved to Canada one week before, so I was nervous to say the least. But EvolveDrupal was a valuable experience that really built my confidence.
I’ve shared my takeaways in this article to help others who are planning to attend EvolveDrupal (or any tech event). Use these 9 tips to attend with confidence and make the most of it!
Before the Summit1. Create your own schedule
My day at EvolveDrupal Ottawa started with coffee (because obviously!). I hung out in the foyer where I could chat to people as they arrived. I was looking forward to talks on Drupal, design, AI, and much more. Crucially, I had gone through the session list earlier and planned out my day.
Having your own schedule means you can pace yourself, attend the talks you're most interested in, and maximize your networking opportunities. Remember that EvolveDrupal has a wide range of sessions and many of them run in parallel, so it isn’t possible to attend all of them.
