Docker-based PHP development environments (DDEV): is an open-source tool for launching local web-development environments in a few minutes.

Drupal Core, one of the most versatile and widely-used content management systems (CMSs), was born out of a vision to empower developers to build scalable and customizable websites. Its journey began in 2000, when Dries Buytaert, the founder and lead developer, created Drupal as a message-board to share ideas with friends. Recognizing its potential, he released Drupal as an open-source project in 2001, marking the beginning of a transformative journey for web-development.
Drush is a command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal. You can use drush to download, update and install drupal and it's modules. It also executes SQL queries and DB migrations, clear caches and other useful things such as backup, updates, clear caches etc.
In Drupal 8, it is very simple to create a multilingual website. In the drupal core, one can find the necessary modules to do so, such as Language, Content Translation, Interface Translation and Configuration Translation. You can just enable the modules and enable the translation that is desired from the administration menu.
For our new website we decided to keep things simple. We wanted our first page to feature all our projects so that the visitor wouldn't have to look for our portfolio within the website.
Another matter we had to decide, was the simpliest and faster way to display them all. After brainstorming, we opted for a responsive grid style.
We're excited to announce the release of our new Drupal website for the acclaimed photographer Christina Karagiannis!
Thank you for the very nice collaboration Christina Karagiannis!!!
