Nuclear Skills Academy moves to Drupal 7 & Commerce

The Nuclear Skills Academy corporate website has grown over the years in to a commerce platform supporting their industry certification alongside their service and corporate information. 

As their virtual learning service has expanded Ixis were briefed to create a more flexible and improved foundation for the Nuclear Skills Academy web platform.

We decided on a combination of Drupal 7 and the Commerce project to re-create the site on.

Video short: What is Drupal?

The Drupal Association Community Cultivation Grants handed out their first round of funding to produce a nice video short from the Brighton Area Drupal Association usergroup (UK).

The video gives a brief introduction to reasons people have chosen Drupal as their content management system of choice for business and pleasure.

Nice to see our little Ixis Druplicon stress balls have made it from the Croydon DrupalCon event down to Brighton!

Drupal7Camp YADDP Presentation

At drupal7camp in Leeds I presented about how we develop and deploy our sites using Git and various Drupal tools.

I talked about the pros and cons of using Features and various different tips and tricks that we find really useful when developing.

Here is a copy of my presentation uploaded to Slideshare.

Overall the weekend was a huge success with a good attendance and session list. Thanks to all those involved in making it a great get together!

Gold for Drupalcon London 2011

Ixis are excited to be sponsoring the European 2011 Drupal conference.

Having been a Drupal exclusive business since inception 7 years ago we've seen Drupal evolve from version 4.6 in to the power of Drupal 7.

We've treated previous Drupal Camps and Drupalcon more as a staff training opportunity - especially for staff moving in to the Drupal field full-time. It's been a great success for learning about new ideas, techniques and even for crash courses on existing components we've not yet had chance to play with at the Ixis office. This year will be no different as we take the whole company down to London for a week of mixing with fellow Drupal users and businesses.

Off to Drupal 7 Camp in Leeds

On the 21st-22nd of May Leeds will be hosting the Drupal 7 Camp.

I'll be representing Ixis at the Camp. I'm hoping to be presenting about our internal Development/Deployment processes and possibly providing an introduction to Drupal 7 module development. Expect a full blog post on both presentations after the event.

The camp is a great opportunity to mix with other Drupal developers and people from the industry. If your around feel free to come and say hi.

With the promise of 144 pints of locally brewed beer it promises to be a great event! Tickets are still available - get yours here.

Quizible : The Integration of Drupal and the iPhone

The web game Quizible originated from the popular Microsoft Excel spreadsheet picture based games from the late 90's.

The Drupal powered site was developed as part of an in-house training month at Ixis. The mobile project came about as we looked for a new way to utilise the data Quizible had collected.
