Week 6 thru 8 has been a week of research, investigation, and recovering.
Researching CI/CD, investigating best hosting, and with recovering; well, my
system with the latest MacOS X OS software and Aquia DevDesktop seized to work
because Apple decided to eliminate 32-bit software.
As I continue my exploration of Drupal 8, I'm now trying to solve several big
questions:
1. How to make the site CI/CD capable. There is a lot of information on the web
on this and a lot of paid services that caFor over 13 years the Bay Area Drupal Camp has gathered thousands from a
worldwide community of Drupal users, developers, marketers and content
specialists to share their expertise, and level up their skills. This year I
decided to take the opportunity to present ADD at the developer conference. I
used my Ricoh experience as a Solutions Engineer and the knowledge gained from
my master’s class to put together a presentation on how ADD can work with
architecting systems or systems of systems with I'm trying to see if I can use Lightning as the base profile for a future site
that I want to create. So far, I'm on step 0, trying to understand how Drupal 8
with composer works. I want to ensure that I can create a development
environment, push to a testing server, and from testing to staging and then
staging to production.
I hope to document my findings in this blog so that I can share my experience.

practices within a Drupal 8 site in regards to setting up added security and
configuration directories. Below are two items that I performed that allowed me
to have a status report with no errors.
1. Secure the Trusted Host Settings -

Example of trusted host configuration setting:
$settings['trusted_host_patterns'] = array(

);I've decided to make the plunge into Drupal 8 development on Windows 10. Below I
have a list of links that I found to be the most helpful in getting the
installation completed.
Drupal 8 is built on the AMP Stack so on Windows 10 I'll need to install the
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or known as WSL.

* MySQL
* PHP

Installing PHP 7 and ComposThis is the beginning of my work for the graduate project and in the first week
I've been organizing all of my tools, documents, resources and even configuring
my laptop to get things in order so that I can craft a schedule and start work.
I've decided to use a combination of a Microsoft Project document and Trello to
manage my tasks and the schedule. I plan to abandon one and stick with the
winner. The winner will be selected based on me being able to follow up
consistently, enjoying the procesI’m excited to take my first steps in defining, designing, implementing and
project managing a new application that will provide a Support System to the
Drupal community. As a first step I have two items that I need to prepare and
research so that I can get started on the project to create a Drupal 8 Support
System site. First, I need to learn best practices on git so that I can create
an environment model with a 4-teir development process. This will allow me to
push my code up from local to dev
