So long, and thanks for all the fish!

It's a very sad week for us at Hook 42. COVID-19 has hit our clients and our families hard, and we regret to announce that we're closing up shop at the end of the month.

Hook 42 has been driven by our core values since we started in 2012: honesty, quality, community, ongoing improvement, work/life balance, and humor. We've loved being part of the open source community, in particular, the Drupal community all these years. We will always have fond memories of working with an amazing team, great clients, and wonderful community members.

Looking Back, Looking Forward: DrupalCamp NJ, 2020

The Central NJ Drupal Group hosts one of my favorite Drupal camps in the northeast, and this year’s DrupalCamp NJ was no exception.

Location, Location, Location

Princeton University uses Drupal heavily, and gives back to the community by hosting the monthly Web Developers Central NJ Meetup and the annual camp.

This year’s camp was held in a new location, which will give us room to grow in the future. It is also closer to Princeton’s beautiful main campus.

Hook 42 and The Spirit of Giving

It’s that time of year again. People are gathering with old friends, spending time with family, and looking for ways to lend a helping hand. At Hook 42, that’s what we look forward to the most, being able to give back and help people however we can. We do our best to continue to give and be part of our communities throughout the year. In light of Giving Tuesday, we wanted to talk a little bit about what it means to us to be involved and support those around us and how we’re giving back this holiday season.

Attending DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019

With another DrupalCon wrapped up, it always takes some time for everything experienced to coalesce, and a couple of weeks after getting back from Amsterdam, I was thinking about the major takeaways this time round.

Drupal Core Initiative Meetings Recap - November 04 - November 08, 2019

As our team continues to contribute to the Drupal community, we've been attending a variety of Drupal Core meetings. After each meeting, we put together an overview or recap of key talking points from each discussion. Sometimes recaps are provided after the meetings, in those cases we simply organize those thoughts, with commentary of our own if needed, to have all the recaps in one place. This article breaks down highlights from meetings this past week, November 4th through November 8th.

Talking Accessibility at GRWebDev

This October I was invited to be a speaker at GRWebDev, a leading development Meetup group here in Grand Rapids, MI. I love sharing my knowledge of Web Accessibility with the local tech community, so I jumped at the opportunity. Many thanks to Sloth over at SlothWerks for extending the invitation!
