Staff Reporter

In Day 21 of his #24Days of #Drupal blog series, Alejandro Madrigal Leiva explores a daily reality for developers: keeping up with constant updates. Whether it’s your OS, phone, or favourite AI tool, change is everywhere, and open source platforms like Drupal are no exception. Alejandro shares his personal approach to tracking updates, starting with the Drupal Change Records, which help developers stay ahead of deprecations and new feature rollouts. He also highlights how tools like ChatGPT and Claude can assist with researching code strategies and adapting to change more efficiently:

The post compiles a resource list that includes Acquia Academy, Talking Drupal, DrupalEasy, WebWash, The Drop Times, and even Alejandro’s own content. He emphasises the value of community, local meetups and online conversations are key to uncovering hidden updates and learning from others. Whether you’re preparing for certifications or just trying not to fall behind, this blog serves as a practical guide to building a personalised Drupal learning ecosystem. Bonus: Alejandro even drops a secret “word of the day” for readers following the whole #24Days series.
