We are now about six weeks into the release of Craft 5, and the latest version is 5.1.2. If you haven't yet upgraded or dug into what's new in Craft, check out my links at the bottom of this email. I've covered in writing and video the most important features you need to know when getting started.
Read on for more!
5️⃣ Speaking of Craft 5...
Over the last couple of weeks, I've published several new videos to my flagship course, Real World Craft CMS. This is a complete redo of my most popular course. We're 24 videos in, so it's time to get started learning!
Maybe you already know Craft, but do you know someone who is new? I'd be grateful if you sent them a link to the course!
Andrew and I stream live the first and third Thursday of every month. We'd love to have you in the chat to cheer, jeer, and comment on the topics we cover!
🇵🇹 Dot All 2024 in Lisbon
Dot All 2024 will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, October 22-24. Early bird tickets are available now. I haven't been to Lisbon before, so I'm looking forward to the conference and visiting a new city!
🎤 Ryan on Website101 Podcast
I was a guest on the Website 101 Podcast, and they indulged me as I talked about how I started teaching technology, some of my learning philosophies, and how my teaching platform evolved over the years.
I even went on about how I think it's a shame so much great information about Craft is locked up in the official Craft Discord server, un-indexable by search engine, and therefore unfindable by those seeking answers to common (or uncommon) problems.
However, I also talked about the new...
💬 CraftQuest Discord Server
I've opened a Discord server for CraftQuest premium subscribers. The link to join is available on the Community page of the site. You'll need to log in with your premium subscriber account to access the link.
Why Discord?
I mentioned this on the podcast above, but I wanted a way to chat with the CraftQuest community that wasn't over email or other platforms. This isn't a replacement for the official Craft Discord server; it's a complement to it that, I hope, will be valuable to CraftQuest premium subscribers.
Whether you're new to Craft or just to Craft 5, these materials will help get you on your way. They also make a great list to pass along to colleagues new to the CMS!
