Drupal Camp New Jersey, hosted by Princeton University, is an exciting event for developers, designers, and site builders to enhance their skills and knowledge in the world of Drupal.
Advanced Site Building and AI at Drupal Camp New Jersey
This year I taught an all-day training called “Advanced Site Building with Drupal and AI,” offering participants the opportunity to dive into cutting-edge techniques and technologies. The room was just a few hundred yards from where Albert Einstein taught at Princeton!
Highlights of the Session
In this session we focused on the advanced site building techniques that makes Drupal really shine. We talked about strategy, modules and configurations. We built a Drupal site with a ton of polished features like a properly configured CKEditor, a complete Digital Asset Management system, a very usable Layout Builder and all the AI goodness Drupal has to offer and more.
It was a really fun day!

Easily the most popular session I've done at any DrupalCamp this past years focused on our StarterSite and Drupal Layout Builder.
“Out-of-the-box” Layout Builder is pretty terrible. This session presents one way of configuring Layout Builder that makes it easier to use with beautiful results that anyone can implement. You’ll come away with a list of recommended contrib modules and configuration settings, and a completed "Startersite" launched with one click of your mouse. The Startersite is hosted on Gitpod (I have support videos on the entire setup) and comes with a complete set of styles, pre-set blocks and more - all without a line of code and without locking in to any vendor.
We’ve been using this approach to convert 30 non-Drupal sites over very quickly, along with making the content editor’s job a LOT easier.
