Hi ,

No, we're not really rebranding DrupalNYC to DrupalNJ. April Fools!

However, it is time to RSVP for our inaugural lunch & learn and our May evening meetup:

RSVP for May 5 evening meetup

April 20th's talks

IP Ranger "The IP Friendly Network Detection Module" (lightning talk)

by Darryle Steplight

You have a batch of known IP addresses associated with your product. You want to know if a given site visitor is logged on or off your network so you can apply other needed business logic. This module is IPv4/6 friendly and has support for CIDRs. It will update your session data on each page load so you know if a user is out-of-network.

Bio

Darryle is an open-source advocate that is certified in managing Agile Teams. He loves product roadmaps, organizing product backlogs, honest retrospective meetings and is looking forward to launching some mobile products which are currently in development.

Automated testing for Drupal

by David Jeyachandran

Do you feel like Automated Tests are complicated and not worth the effort? What if there was a simple way to set-up automated tests that didn't take days? What if there was a way you could test forms and other critical functionality in your Drupal site without much pain?

David will demonstrate setting up an automated test using end-to-end tests using a tool called Puppeteer. It's easy to install and set-up a test that, for example, opens a page, enters values in fields and then submit a form. It's a useful tool to have in your arsenal and could help make your sites more robust.

Bio

David is a software engineer from Australia. He worked for PwC and then at an Australian bank where he first learned the power of Drupal. Currently he lives with his wife and three kids in a beautiful city nestled in the Andes mountains of Perú. One of his passions is building sites that open rapidly, even with poor bandwidth and on old devices. He loves code, cycling and coffee but not necessarily in that order.

May 5th's talks

TBD.

We need YOU to volunteer to speak!
