Welcome to our blog page We'd like to share knowledge of the areas that are the most fascinating to us.

We recently wrote about  why SCRUM improves software development quality and why remote scrum teams are often a good choice.  Today we will discuss a very important part of scrum which is often neglected, what leads to reduced preformance, delays and mistakes - Sprint Retrospective.  What is Sprint Retrospective? This is one of the meetings in the SCRUM methodology. The meeting takes place on a regular basis, at the end of each sprint.

The deadline is today. A remote development team have worked for several weeks on your software. You obtain the long-awaited access to the system. You check it and you are not satisfied with the achieved results. All that was needed to avoid this problem is a team with experience in technology and working using SCRUM. What is SCRUM Wikipedia defines SCRUM as an agile framework for managing work. It is an approach used in many companies to develop software.

Droptica is a Drupal agency. In our work we very often find ourselves building corporate websites on Drupal. Not to reinvent the wheel every time every single time, we created Droopler. Droopler is a state-of-the-art open-source tool for building websites, built on the latest version of Drupal. The system has been designed in order to enable easy and flexible modification of content that looks great on every device.

After the deployment of our Drupal development agency's new websites – droptica.pl and droptica.com – in mid-2016, we decided to improve a few things related to content optimisation, page loading speed and SEO. At the end of the year, we carried out a technical Drupal SEO audit, which enabled us to detect a certain number of shortcomings. While at it, we decided to implement the solutions recommended by Google.

Quality is one of the principles that we uphold at Droptica. We want to create the best software, in line with our clients’ requirements - efficient, error-free and cost-effective. In this post, I am going to tell you about one of the most crucial factors impacting the quality of the software we develop - automation of the software development process. We are enthusiastic supporters of automation.

Yoast SEO is a module that has everything you need to make your content visible to search engines. The plug-in that took the WordPress community by storm is slowly getting more and more traction in the Drupal community as well. What exactly is SEO? SEO is an acronym of Search Engine Optimisation.

In one of our previous articles, we showed you how to configure CKEditor in Drupal 8. Using the available UI is great, but sometimes clients require additional functionality.

At Droptica, we have been regularly recruiting PHP developers for quite some time now. We often get asked what exactly does one have to know in order to join our team, mostly by people who are starting their careers as developers or who want to switch jobs or even industries.  The extent of “PHP development” knowledge is vast and our expectations regarding our candidates may not be obvious for some.

Projects implemented by Droptica often require a large amount of coding in PHP. Taking advantage of various tool and configurations allows us to streamline the process and make it far more convenient and pleasant. In this post, we wanted to share our experiences and describe an ideal software configuration for coding in PHP (mainly in Drupal, since we are a Drupal agency). The base software that we use includes Linux (most people use Ubuntu) and PHPStorm as IDE.

This year, Droptica turns 5! Many things in the company have changed during this time. We want to reflect these changes in the form of a new logo and describe our rebranding process. Our new logo represents who we are and who we want to be more accurate. Image change is part of our continuous development. The New Droptica The new visual identification system of Droptica is a revolutionary change. New logo. New colours.
