Bayanihan Meets Kaizen: The Spirit of Open Source
There’s something magnetic about open source. Maybe it’s the freedom, maybe it’s the collaboration, or maybe it’s the quiet thrill of building something that belongs to everyone. Whatever it is, open source isn’t just a way to make software—it’s a way to make progress together. And nowhere is that clearer than in the Drupal community, where developers, designers, and thinkers across the world—including right here in Asia—turn shared code into shared possibility.
Understanding Drupal’s Cache Tags and Contexts in Drupal 10
One of the reasons Drupal is known for its speed and scalability is its powerful caching system. It’s what makes pages load quickly and keeps your site efficient, even as it grows.
But Drupal’s caching isn’t just about saving HTML — it’s smart enough to know when and what to clear. This is where Cache Tags and Cache Contexts come in.
In this article, we’ll explore what these two concepts mean, how they work, and why they matter in Drupal 10.
Introduction to Drupal Theming
When working with Drupal, one of the key skills to learn is theming. While modules add functionality, themes control how your website looks and feels. In simple terms, a theme is the design layer that determines layout, colors, typography, and overall user experience. Whether you want a clean corporate site or a bold creative design, theming is where it all happens.
Drupal’s Layout Builder: Drag-and-Drop Design in Drupal 10
When you think of Drupal, you probably picture powerful tools for content management and customization. But for years, one thing developers and site builders often wished for was an easier way to design page layouts - without diving deep into theme files or complex configuration screens.
Enter Drupal’s Layout Builder, one of the most flexible and user-friendly features introduced in recent versions and refined beautifully in Drupal 10.
Implementing Webhooks on Drupal for Real-Time Updates
Modern web applications thrive on instant information. Users expect immediate updates, whether it’s a new message, an order status change, or fresh content. This need for speed makes real-time data crucial for great user experiences and smooth business tasks. Traditional methods, like polling, constantly ask a server for updates, which wastes resources and often leads to delays.
Understanding HTML Semantics
HTML Semantics is the practice of using HTML elements that carry meaning and clearly express their role within a page. Instead of merely describing how content looks, semantic elements describe what their content represents. For example, using a <nav> tag to contain navigation links. This article discusses HTML Semantics and how their usage affects the readability of the code.
Understanding MVC Pattern
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is a fundamental architectural design pattern that separates an application into three interconnected components. This separation of concerns promotes organized programming and allows developers to build scalable, maintainable web applications. Understanding MVC is crucial for modern web development, especially when working with frameworks and custom applications.
The Future of AI in Web Development
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the digital landscape at an incredible pace, and web development is one of the fields experiencing the most profound change. What once required long hours of manual coding, design, and testing is now being reshaped by intelligent systems that can automate, predict, and even create. As we look ahead, AI is set to redefine not only how websites are built but also how people experience them.
Drupal’s Support for JSON:API
When it comes to building modern digital experiences, content needs to flow freely across different platforms. A single website is no longer enough. Businesses want their content to appear on mobile apps, smart devices, and other digital touchpoints without having to rewrite it each time. This is where APIs play a huge role, and Drupal makes it easier with its built-in JSON:API support.
