Drupal Commerce 2.0 Wisdom
If you've been following the Acro Media blog, you probably know that the digital agency (and Acquia partner), based in Kelowna, BC, Canada, has a special interest in Drupal Commerce.
So with the recent launch of Drupal Commerce 2.0, it made sense to check in with them.
After all, Acro Media team are core maintainers for modules such as Commerce Migrate, Commerce POS, and a host of others.
Leading up to the 2.0 release of Drupal Commerce, Acro Media had 20 team members contributing a total of 60 contrib credits. In the past 3 months, they've been credited on over 270 issues.
They've also been publishing content steady. Their aim seems to be to not only to get the word out about 2.0, but to help educate other developers, agencies and current and potential customers.
So here, all in one place, a collection of Acro Media Drupal Commerce Knowledge.
Now that Drupal Commerce has gone 2.0, people are wanting to know more information about how to go about migrating their stores to the new version. A recent Acro Media post talks about just that and aims to give readers a clear understanding of what to expect. You can read more here.
Shawn McCabe (Acro Media CTO) and Stephen Netzlaw (Acro Media's Head of Business Development) are the hosts of a video series that they've been producing now for a couple years. Season 2, which is currently in the works, is focused on... (wait for it) Drupal Commerce 2.
Each episode covers one aspect of the platform discusses what's new and what's cool. You can watch the season on YouTube here or find them in Acro Media's blog.
For those interested in trying a hands-on demo of what Drupal Commerce can do out-of-the-box with some frontend theming, the Acro Media team put together a mock eCommerce site called Urban Hipster. Check it out and click around. There are a bunch of interactive guided tours that you can try. Visit the demo site here.
Rumor has it that Acro Media is preparing another Drupal Commerce post that will be much more detailed than the migration piece, and will discuss the technical side of Commerce 2, including the new improvements.
When it comes out, in early October, we'll add it to the list above. Stay tuned.
