Happy Holidays from The Worx!
We can definitely feel the year winding down here at The Worx Company. Holidays always seem to be slow, everyone busy with their own personal lives. With Thanksgiving in November and Christmas and New Years this month, things have been more relaxed around the office. This has been a great time to catch up on things. Here are some things that has been going around here:
Drupal Classes at a Crossroad
As some of you might already know we have been holding classes in our office to teach our new guys the ins and outs of Drupal. After a short time we had reached a crossroad of sorts though - and a decision needed to be made.
Data Abuse Hurts Everyone
Yesterday was spent moving an old client's Lotus Notes based intranet (I use that term loosely) over to Drupal. Actually the entire last 2 weeks have been focused on this to some extent, but yesterday was spent primarily bringing across a significant part of the old data.
Drupal as a Development Platform
Drupal has won the Packt Publishing 2008 Open Source CMS Award, Overall and in the PHP category!
Drupal has won the Overall award two years in a row, and The Worx Company is excited to be working with it. The attraction to Drupal from our perspective, is that it is not only a great content management system for clients who need the basic functionality to manage their own sites, but it is an excellent development platform.
The Worx Company - Sponsor at Drupalcon
The Worx Company is a Silver Sponsor at Drupalcon DC! We are excited to be sponsoring what looks to be a fantastic Drupalcon. Of course, with the sponsorship, our attendance at Drupalcon has been confirmed - I will be attending, along with Kris, Kurt (President of our company), and maybe Sue (CEO).
