Need start to finish help on getting Drupal 8 up and running locally? Ready to start contributing code?
This will help you get everything installed locally including Drush and gives basic information about Configuration for those new to it.
Little documentation and few base themes with 8.x branches - what's a front end developer to do? I'll show you what's changing in Drupal theming between D7 and D8 and how to create a custom theme based on the Classy base theme, step by step. We'll go over Twig basics and Twig debugging.
Quite significant changes were introduced in the theme system between Drupal 8 and 7. This guide contains information that applies to Drupal 8 theming.
Twig for Drupal 8 and PHP | Presented at OC Drupalwebbywe
A high level overview of Twig and its functions that was presented at the OC Drupal meetup in February 2014 at KWALL.
As Twig is now part of Drupal 8 core, it is still being developed so slides are mostly on Twig itself. Discussion was over what Twig provides to themers.

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.
Ready. Set. Drupal! An Intro to Drupal 8, Part 2Acquia
In this two part series, we'll give you a quick introduction to the Drupal 8 out-of-the-box site building experience. This course is for people who are completely new to Drupal. You might be a developer or a decision maker, but you need to know what makes Drupal tick, and fast.
In part 2, you’ll get an overview of site building, extending Drupal, and contributing to the Drupal community. This course includes:
• Presentations: We've condensed the most essential information about Drupal into this quick course.
• Demos: Watch me completing specific tasks as I build a site.
• Download step-by-step tutorials, and try out the tasks yourself.
No matter your experience level or background, this course will get you familiar with the next up-and-coming version of Drupal.

In Drupal 7, I used contrib base themes like Bootstrap, Omega, or Zen as a starting point for most of the themes I created. Primarily, themers use base themes to improve accessibility, get more semantic markup, make responsive websites, and save time.
The Drupal 8 theme system provides more accessible, semantic markup in core and is responsive out-of-the-box. It's the perfect time to try theming without a contrib base theme. If you're deciding how to structure your first Drupal 8 theme and which base theme to use, this is the talk for you. The talk will include:
Overview of Drupal 8 core themes
Tips for building a responsive theme from scratch
Adding a grid system
Responsive navigation
Structuring CSS or SASS
Best Practice Site Architecture in Drupal 8Pantheon
Drupal 8 offers developers many exciting new features to use in building websites. Have you tried configuration management? How about the new Symfony based routing system? Twig? Cache tags? Each of these systems is extremely powerful and will let you build websites like never before.

One Drupal to rule them all - Drupalcamp Londonhernanibf
Dries famous sentence (http://buytaert.net/one-drupal-to-rule-them-all) is becoming a reality for many organisations from small shops to the enterprise space. More and more stakeholders are following the idea of standardising their online presence in Drupal and leverage the same code and infrastructure amongst their different sites. What they are seeking is a drastic reduction in the time needed to create, launch and configure a Drupal site at the same time that they reduce the maintenance effort of the whole sites' network.
To achieve it, a drastic change needs to happen on the standardisation of development processes, more strict control of the overall architecture while supporting new changes and requirements, and repeatable and trustable deployment process to avoid the opposite pitfall of "one site to break them all".
In this session we will look to what needs to be thought when creating such an architecture from the development process to the infrastructure to host the different environments needed. We will look at different solutions that allow maintain these sites factories and walk you through several architectures explaining their advantages and differences.
Finally, we will look in detail to Acquia's Cloud Site Factory, a fully-hosted SaaS solution that allows organisations to quickly deploy and manage websites by the hundreds. Pre-define site templates, create new sites in a single click, manage roles and permissions across sites and connect to existing analytics and data systems.
Everything You Need to Know About the Top Changes in Drupal 8Acquia
<p>Drupal 8 is on the way. And we know you want to know -- what does this mean for me?!</p>
<p>Don't fear, Angie 'webchick' Byron is here! This one hour webinar will provide you with detailed overviews on the major changes in Drupal 8, as well as several short video demos that will give you a glimpse into a few of the newest features and capabilities. Angie will explain what D8 means for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Site Builders: See Views in Core, more (and better) blocks, improved entity and field features...the list goes on!</li>
<li>Front-end Developers: We're talking HTML5, libraries, accessibility enhancements, new themes and UI elements, and faster performance, to name a few.</li>
<li>Back-end Developers: A new configuration management system, a completely rehauled Entity API, improved caching, and new built-in web services features.</li></ul>
We know that Drupal is a great CMS - but it doesn't do everything right out of the box - and that's where modules come in!
There are over 7,000 extensions (or add-on features) for Drupal 7 and figuring out which ones to use can be a real challenge. During this session we're going to walk… jog… ok - run through 45 of the best and most popular modules in 45 minutes. We'll hit the highlights for each one, when and where you might use it, and uncover any "pitfalls" there might be hidden away.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

• Started in 2000 by Dries Buytaert a
student at a university in Belgium.
13. Drupal - Who?
• Over 900,000 people on Drupal.org
• Around 1000 active developers
• Developers are not paid by Drupal. Most
work for Drupal companies and volunteer
some of their time.

16. What Does Drupal Mean?
Drupal is a misspelling of “drop” in Dutch.
That explains the logos:
28. No False Promises
• HUGE learning curve beyond the basics
• Quicker, but good sites still take time
• Cheaper, but may cost $XX,XXX or more
• More Options, but custom work often
needed
29. No False Promises
Drupal is not right for every site
• WordPress = very easy, but few features
• Joomla = easier, but less flexibility

51. Let’s Touch the Important Ones
1. Add a block
2. Change the logo
(http://ntihost.net/drupalville-logo.png)
3. Turn off a module
4. Change the site name
5. Add some content
53. Content Workflow
1) Content types
In Drupal, each item of content is called a node,
and each node belongs to a single content type,
which defines various default settings for nodes
of that type, such as whether the node is
published automatically and whether comments
are permitted.
Control over how content is added to your site.
Goes way beyond the typical “Title” and “Body”
fields.
54. Content Workflow
2) Fields
Attached to Drupal entities (content nodes,
users, taxonomy vocabularies, etc.) fields take
care of storing, loading, editing, and rendering
field data. Where content is added to your site.
Can be sorted, selected, presented in any
setting.
Allow for customizing your content for
maximum flexibility.
80. The Panels Module
• Takes the views we create then controls
access and layout of the content.
• “Blocks with brains”...
– Provides context for our views (user, node,
fields, taxonomy, search, custom... and
more)
– Use panes anywhere - exportable.
86. Display Suite
• Display Suite allows you to take full control
over how your content is displayed using a
drag and drop interface. Arrange your nodes,
views, comments, user data etc. the way you
want without having to work your way
through dozens of template files. A
predefined list of layouts (D7 only) is
available for even more drag and drop fun!
