Mark Conroy of The Confident has launched a new 10-part Drupal training series, starting with setting up a local development environment using DDEV. The guide outlines how to install Docker/DDEV, configure a project, and access it locally. Special attention is given to LocalGov Drupal, showing how to install dependencies, run site installs, or import databases directly in DDEV.

The post also highlights common workflow commands for Drush and Composer, database import/export, and troubleshooting strategies. Designed for both newcomers and trainers, this resource streamlines onboarding and simplifies development for Drupal and LocalGov Drupal projects. Readers can also subscribe for course updates and discounts as the series develops.
