Drupal 9.0 was launched earlier this month as a continuation of Drupal 8. This time around, the core update was more about updating the technology underlying Drupal's codebase and eliminating dependencies than introducing brand-new features, but fear not: we'll be getting some of those soon enough.
Drupal releases features on a semi-annual basis, and version 9.1 is expected to be rolled out around December this year.

Originally from Winnipeg, MB, I moved to Fredericton, NB before beginning high school. I’ve always had interests in a variety of areas. I have a background as a musician, experience with content creation and design, and a fascination with computers. I was interested in learning more about web development, and working with an experienced agency seemed like an ideal way to gain those valuable skills.
The recent official launch of Drupal 9.0 represents 4 and a half years of improvements (and more than 4,500 individual contributors) to the open source CMS designed to support the most ambitious digital experiences.

Use the web for a short amount of time and you'll no doubt bump into an accordion, one of those collapsible elements that, when you click on its title, opens up to reveal more information. Click the title again, and it closes back up.
If you're a web developer, you've also probably had to code one of these, myself included. There are a few different ways you could build this, but I recently learned that there's a way built right into HTML5! But first, let's take a look at the ways I (and probably you) have done this before.

As you might have heard, Drupal 9 is being released this Wednesday. There is a lot to celebrate, you’ll find evidence of Drupal 9 celebrations as teams prepare to upgrade to the new version of our favorite content management system. However, there is no distinct Drupal 9 logo to go with this release. Instead, a new evergreen logo will be used to represent all versions of the Drupal project and software. And there’s a good reason for that.
In a recent Drupal training, I got a question about a replacement for the Drupal 7 Nodequeue module for Drupal's newer versions. What this module allowed you to do was sort your content in whichever order you preferred. In Drupal, we make lists of content using Views and out of the box, and we have the ability to sort this content in different ways, such as date created, date updated, and alphabetically. But what if I want a list of content sorted in whichever order that I want? In this video tutorial, I'll show you two different methods of custom sorting.
I first started learning HTML in the early 2000s from a library book. At this time, our house didn't even have a dial-up connection, much less a high-speed Internet hookup. In the book, I learned how to lay out my website using tables.
Depending on your age, you may nod your head in nostalgic agreement or chuckle and say, "Nah, they didn't do that. Tables aren't meant to do that."

Web accessibility is an inclusive design that ensures everyone can access your website, no matter their abilities.
In the same way a ramp on the sidewalk makes sure someone in a wheelchair can get over the curb, having an alternative (alt) text on an image can make sure someone using a screen-reader can understand what the image conveys.
