Can a custom Drupal 8 Theme be created in 40 minutes? The results might not be pretty but we're going to create a theme from start to finish. In the process you'll get to see all the components that make up a theme and get acquainted with tools that get the job done.
This talk was initially delivered at the Melbourne WordPress User Meetup. With tens of thousands of choices for WordPress users and developers, choosing the right theme is an important decision to make when working on any WordPress project. Theme choice impacts on not only design and UX, but also usability, accessibility, performance and more.
Minimalist Theming: How to Build a Lean, Mean Drupal 8 ThemeSuzanne Dergacheva
Back in the Drupal 7 days (aka last year), we came across some pretty large, hard-to-maintain Drupal 7 sites. The theme was often responsible for a lot of the cruft. We saw themes with excess code, too many template files, and not enough documentation.
The Drupal 8 theme layer provides new features like libraries and Twig blocks that can help us to build cleaner, better-organized themes. So now is a good time for themers to re-visit which theming techniques to use to create themes that are smaller, maintainable, and well organized.

We all know that WordPress is an awesome blogging platform, but under that bloggy exterior lurks a fully operational Content Management System.
During this presentation we take a look at some sites you might not think run on WordPress, install a bunch of plugins to make WordPress an even better CMS, learn what Custom Post Types and Taxonomies are and how to use them, plus cover custom menus and conditional widgets.

WordCamp NEO 2016 presentation "Custom Responsive Theme Workshop" by David Brattoli
While we could use many different frameworks, premium and free themes to build our sites, I have found you need a truly custom framework to build a base to build new themes quickly to meet your project needs. This method to create a framework and then to create a child theme for the look of the site, will allow you build future sites quickly and efficiently. The session will cover why we choose this method and framework, the challenges we faced, how we tackled the challenge, and what we ended up building to solve the problem. I'll also reveal the pitfalls we discovered and how we overcame those as well.

Keep Your Code Organized! WordCamp Montreal 2013 Presentation slidesJer Clarke
These are the slides from my talk at WordCamp Montreal 2013.
Talk description:
==Keep your code organized! Templates, functions.php and custom plugins==
If you've written PHP for a theme you should know by now that you need to keep anything complicated outside the templates. Functions.php can be a good place for this but there are many pitfalls and considerations you should keep in mind before (over)using it. This talk will examine your choices for organizing the code that makes up a WP site, ensuring you have plugin code in plugins and theme code in themes (it's not hard!).
This presentation was used on a five half-day course on basic web design. The goal of this workshop is to enable participants to create their own Wordpress site by the end of the course. The agenda adjust according to the pace of the participants.

- add custom schema
- add a widget area
- list posts with a certain tag on a WP page
- create a streamlined landing page
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.

"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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

8. Why use a Theme
Framework?
• Themes present content according to the
desires and tastes of the designer
• Frameworks provide an extensible way of
empowering designers within a set of
guidelines.
9. Why use a Theme
Framework?
• Frameworks realize the principle of
separation of content and presentation
• Early Predecessor: CSS Zen Garden
• Change a theme using only CSS. No
markup modifications
14. Use Hooks In Themes
• Let plugin devs build for your template
• Add filters and actions throughout themes
• Examples:
• do_action(‘before_content’);
• apply_filters(‘logo’, ‘logo.jpg’);
15. Internationalize!
• Internationalization (i18n) is important
• Use load_theme_textdomain() in
functions.php
• Utilize __(), _e(), _c() and _x() to provide
translatable strings
• Don’t forget the .po file
