September is almost here, and if you're north of the equator that means a cooler season is approaching, and it's back to school time for the kiddos.
It's also time for us to dust off those learning goals we've been putting on the back burner. No pencils or notebooks needed! You can lean on the CraftQuest catalog.
It's been busy here at CraftQuest. We've published new comprehensive courses on extending Craft CMS, multi-language sites, and creating a new boilerplate with Vite, as well over 30 lessons and livestreams. We also built out our complete Craft CMS glossary, which houses terminology around Craft CMS and modern web development.
Introduction to Extending Craft CMS - Stop being intimidated by plugins and modules. This survey-level guide breaks down plugins, private plugins, and modules. Learn when to use what, and how to build your own. Perfect for intermediate developers ready to stop copy-pasting and start creating.
Introduction to Multi-Language Sites with Craft CMS - Global clients aren't going away. Master creating multilingual sites from a single Craft installation, field translation methods, and cross-site content querying. Beginner-friendly but comprehensive enough for complex projects. Additional learning material on multi-language sites is planned!
DDEV, Craft, Vite, Tailwind Boilerplate from Scratch- Ever felt stuck using a boilerplate setup you didn’t fully understand? Join me and Andrew as we walk you through setting up a Craft CMS project from scratch with DDEV, Vite, and Tailwind, without any unnecessary baggage. Learn exactly how it all works. No magic!
➡️ Fundamentals of HOWL Stack - It's "Hypermedia on Whatever You'd Like" – you provide the backend, and choose a HOWL stack front-end.
➡️ Understanding Twig Context or Scope - A few exercises to navigate Twig context or scope and how it works. Essential learning for Craft devs!
➡️ A Short Introduction to CSS Container Queries - This guide explains how CSS container queries allow components to adapt based on their parent container’s size rather than the viewport, making layouts more flexible and reusable.
AI Perspective Series
Three essential lessons on working with AI in our industry:
Real talk about AI's role in development, not the hype!
New AI-Powered Learning Tools
Speaking of practical AI, I've been working on ways to make the video content on CraftQuest easier to search.
Search Assistant - Stop scrubbing through hours of video looking for that one code snippet. Search inside our entire video library to find exactly what you're looking for, when you need it.
Video Assistant (Premium members) - Available inside each video in the catalog. Get contextual help while you're watching. Ask questions about the topic, get code examples, or dive deeper into concepts without losing your place in the video.
These aren't gimmicks! I'm trying to offer practical tools that make it easier to learn with CraftQuest material. Am I missing something you'd find helpful? I'm always open to feedback on this.
See Us at Dot All 2025
Andrew and I are heading to Lisbon, Portugal for Dot All 2025 where we'll present "Dueling Developers: Two Ways to the Same Experience."
Think of it as a live-action code review where two experienced developers tackle the same problem with completely different approaches. You'll see real decision-making in action, learn multiple ways to solve common challenges, and probably witness some good-natured technical disagreements.
If you're attending Dot All, find us there. If you're not, we hope there's a recording afterward!
