Lessons From an Unlikely Superhero

Emma Jane Hogbin Westby

You've just been handed a gorgeous, static Photoshop file. By tomorrow it needs to be a flexible, extensible, and compatible Drupal theme for some Web site you've never seen. Oh and they said something about it needing to be responsive to 508 or something like that? *gulp* The problem with creating a Drupal theme is —once you know how—it becomes intuitive. Themers spontaneously transform design files into complete Drupal themes without realizing all of the little steps their brain takes to achieve the final solution. It's sort of like those “learn to draw a cat” books where it takes you from a basic circle to a cat with beautiful fur in four simple steps. It's never four complete simple steps though. It's two steps of making circles and then some kind of crazy artist voodoo that makes a complete cat by the last step. In this session Emma Jane Westby (of Front End Drupal fame) will walk you through the steps ... all the steps ... of converting a design into a theme. Without missing any steps, Emma will walk you through: the benefits of theming by component what you need to have in place before you start what's worth keeping from SMACSS (and what's just overhead) how to refine her simple procedure so it works for your team, and with any version of Drupal

PSD to Theme: The SMACSS Way

Emma Jane Hogbin Westby

You are a clever and talented person. You create beautiful designs, or perhaps you can architect a system that even a cat could use. Your peers adore you. Your clients love you. But (until now) you haven't *&^#^ been able to make Git bend to your will. It makes you angry inside that you have to ask your co-worker, again, for that *&^#^ command to share your work. It's not you. It's Git. Promise. We'll kick off this session with an explanation of why Git is so freaking hard to learn. Then we'll flip the tables and make YOU (not Git) the centre of attention. You'll learn how to define, and sketch out how version control works, using terms and scenarios that make sense to you. Yup, sketch. On paper. (Tablets and other electronic devices will be allowed, as long as you promise not to get distracted choosing the perfect shade for rage.) To this diagram you'll layer on the common Git commands that are used regularly by efficient Git-using teams. It'll be the ultimate cheat sheet, and specific to your job. If you think this sounds complicated, it's not! Your fearless leader, Emma Jane, has been successfully teaching people how-to-tech for over a decade. She is well known for her non-technical metaphors which ease learners into complex, work-related topics that previously felt inaccessible. Yes, this is an introductory session. No, you don't have to have Git installed to attend. You don't even need to know where the command line is on your computer. Yes, you should attend if you've been embarrassed to ask team-mates what Git command you used three weeks ago to upload your work...just in case you're supposed to remember. If you're a super-human Git fanatic who is frustrated by people who don't just "git it", this session is also for you. You'll learn new ways to effectively communicate your ever-loving Git, and you may develop a deeper understanding of why your previous attempts to explain Git have failed.

The bigger the company, the more likely you are to get dragged into meetings that waste your time, waste your talent, and waste your company's money. Sure, it's great to be included in the process, but wouldn't it be even nicer if the process didn't waste your time? In this session Emma Jane Hogbin show you five simple tips to make your time in meetings more efficient. Want to dig deeper? She'll explain why these five tips work and show you how to make more of your interactions with (difficult) people more efficient and enjoyable.

Does Git make you angry inside? In this workshop you will get a gentle introduction to working efficiently as a Web developer in small teams, or as a solo developer. We'll focus on real world examples you can actually use to make your work faster and more efficient. Windows? OSX? Linux? No problem, we'll get you up and running with Git, no matter what your system. Yes, this is an introductory session. This is for people who feel shame that they don't know how to "clone my github project", wish they too could "get the gist", and get mad when people say "just diff me a patch" as if it's something as easy as making a mai thai even though you have no rum. No, you don't have to have git installed to attend. You don't even need to know where the command line is on your computer.

Git Makes Me Angry Inside

Emma Jane Hogbin Westby

Is your theme folder filled with files like this: page.old.2.bak.php? Does Git make you angry inside? Do you resent that everyone except you regularly visits the magical place referred to as "The Command Line"? Are you afraid of the vagrant who stole your puppet? In this workshop you will get a step-by-step introduction to working efficiently as a Drupal developer in small teams, or as a solo developer. We'll focus on real world examples you can actually use to make your work faster and more efficient.

The handout and video are also available for this presentation. http://munich2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/evaluating-base-themes http://munich2012.drupal.org/sites/default/files/slides/basethemes-handout-munich_1.pdf One of these themes is not like the other: Mothership, Zen, Omega, Bartik, Fusion. Since writing my first book, Front End Drupal, Drupal base themes have matured significantly. Some of these base themes have evolved to the point of having the learning curve of a theming engine rather than a set of preset markup defaults. In this session we'll explore the base theme ecosystem. You'll get a biased view of how I evaluate base themes and which themes come out on top for the "themer experience". You'll find out why there can be no single base theme to meet the needs of every themer and why the base theme you're using might not be right for you. Bring your questions (and your flame thrower) as we romp through the valley of Drupal base themes.

The theme of your website has the capacity for beautiful, semantic markup...and also the hacky HTML soup. You can build a new theme by downloading a free theme and tearing out its guts--or you can learn how to become a theme surgeon. In this session you will learn two key techniques needed to build a successful theme: crime scene investigation (identifying Drupal page elements in your design files) and power tools for copy-cat theming (things you need to recreate your design using Drupal). From start to finish we will transform a design file into a Drupal theme. With special attention given to your all-important questions: how do I save time with grid-based design? Should I use Panels? How do I make this bit of stuff appear next to that bit? Yah, but how do I start? [This presentation was given at DrupalCon Chicago but the recording failed. Slides are available from http://www.slideshare.net/emmajane/forensic-theming-for-drupal] About The Presenter Emma Jane Hogbin is well known in the Drupal community for her engaging presentations and kickass theming book, Front End Drupal. She is currently working on her second book, Drupal: A user's guide which is due out shortly after DrupalCon. Through her training company, Design to Theme, emmajane has empowered thousands of people to create the Drupal site of their dreams. Intended audience Small business site builders who partner with graphic designers but have no idea how to make Drupal look like a design file. Intermediate themers who start with a free Drupal theme that looks "close" to the final site and then start hacking to make their theme. The audience currently does not use base themes and are frustrated at how complicated all of the code is. They are looking for shortcuts and some quick-fix solutions to make theming faster and more profitable. Questions answered by this session What are the key tools I need to use to make themeing Drupal easier? How can I make Drupal markup less yucky? Where should I start when building a new theme? Yeah, but how do I theme *that thing*? I want to see how you build a theme: show me!

When you’re building (micro)services, you have lots of framework options. Spring Boot is no doubt a popular choice. But there’s more! Take Quarkus, a framework that’s considered the rising star for Kubernetes-native Java. It always depends on what's best for your situation, but how to choose the best solution if you're comparing 2 frameworks? Both Spring Boot and Quarkus have their positives and negatives. Let us compare the two by live coding a couple of common use cases in Spring Boot and Quarkus. After this talk, you’ll be ready to get started with Quarkus yourself, and know when to select Quarkus or Spring Boot.

The microservices honeymoon is over. When starting a new project or revamping a legacy monolith, teams started looking for alternatives to microservices. The Modular Monolith, or 'Modulith', is an architecture that reaps the benefits of (vertical) functional decoupling without the high costs associated with separate deployments. This talk will delve into the advantages and challenges of this progressive architecture, beginning with exploring the concept of a 'module', its internal structure, public API, and inter-module communication patterns. Supported by spring-modulith, the talk provides practical guidance on addressing the main challenges of a Modultith Architecture: finding and guarding module boundaries, data decoupling, and integration module-testing. You should not miss this talk if you are a software architect or tech lead seeking practical, scalable solutions. About the author With two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with. In return, Victor summarizes key points from these workshops in conference talks and online meetups for the European Software Crafters, the world’s largest developer community around architecture, refactoring, and testing.

Corporate and higher education. Two industries that, in the past, have had a clear divide with very little crossover. The difference in goals, learning styles and objectives paved the way for differing learning technologies platforms to evolve. Now, those stark lines are blurring as both sides are discovering they have content that’s relevant to the other. Join Tammy Rutherford as she walks through the pros and cons of corporate and higher ed collaborating. And the challenges of these different technology platforms working together for a brighter future.
