Last weekend I enjoyed the awesomeness of DrupalCamp Asheville. The Asheville Drupal User Group did an amazing job once again. It was a great camp filled with positive people and smart sessions. This time around I was lucky enough to deliver my own presentation, SVG: How To Have Fun Making Your Site Look Hot!.
The session was filled with a great mix of people of all skill levels - from having little SVG exposure to people who employ it in all their projects. The talk catered to both as we reviewed everything from the basics of understanding SVG and getting it displayed on your site to more advanced topics like line-stroke animations and SVG filters.
This was my first presentation at a DrupalCamp, and it was very rewarding. I think everyone learned something, and it felt great to give back to a community that shares so much information on a daily basis.
Overall, the presentations were on point. A few sessions I attended that stood out were Bayo Fodeke and Mark Shropshire’s Decoupled Drupal with Meteor, Chris Russo’s Personal git workflow, for everyone! and Matt Davis’ Headless Challenges Answered: Weather.com's Presentation Framework.
Besides being a great camp, it’s located in Asheville, which is a true gem of the East Coast with vibrant arts, food and beer scenes. If you get the chance, you should definitely try to attend next year's camp. Whether you’ve never attended a camp or you’re a grizzled veteran, you’ll love the setting, the sessions, and best of all, the awesome people you’ll meet. See you in 2016!
