- Drupal is an open-source content management system (CMS) that can be used to create websites and applications. It was originally created in 2001 by Dries Buytaert as a college project.
- Drupal has grown significantly since then and is now used by over 2% of the top million websites worldwide. Major sites like the White House, PopSci, and The Economist use Drupal.
- Drupal provides tools and modules for building websites, including content types, themes, blocks, views, taxonomy, and user roles and permissions. It is highly customizable and can scale from basic personal sites to large complex sites.

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.
What on earth is Drupal? Check out this awesome presentation by David Stagg, JMO and Albert Hughes for the answer. They will not only tell you what Drupal is, but what it can do and whether or not it is right for you.
With Hands on Drupal, you can dive into the easy world of this wonderful CMS. Content is easy to customize and create with CCK, and Views can display it every which way you can imagine. The flexible basis of Drupal, combined with the online community, will give you the solid foundation on which to build your next site.

WP Joburg Meetup 10: Genesis Framework by Trish CorneliusWPJoburg

Spark: Authoring Experience++ in Drupal 7, 8, and BeyondAngela Byron
Spark is an initiative led by Acquia's Office of the CTO under Dries Buytaert, the Drupal project lead. We take a holistic look at Drupal's competition and design and implement features to help close the gaps.
One big gap that has consistently held Drupal adoption back is that of the out-of-the-box content authoring experience. Hand-typing HTML like it's 1994, previews that aren't actually previews, and interfaces that are unusable on a mobile device all present big challenges for those coming to Drupal. While all of these problems have numerous workarounds in contrib, Spark's goal is to improve the Drupal product itself to eliminate this friction innately, so site builders can spend less time smoothing out rough edges and more easily focus on what they came to Drupal to do: build their actual sites. :)
Spark is both a Drupal distribution and a set of discrete modules for both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 (in many cases, Drupal 8 core) which can enhance the user experience for your site's content authors, including:
Mobile Friendly Navigation Toolbar
In-Place Editing
Responsive Preview
WYSIWYG editing
Improved Accessibility
Redesigned Administration Theme
...and more!
This talk will focus on demonstrating these new features and explain how site builders can take advantage of them, as well as talk about what the next areas of focus for the Spark team will be for Drupal 9 and beyond.

Decoupled Drupal: What This Means for DevelopersAcquia
Recently, decoupled content management has been taking the front-end world by storm as developers seek new ways to leverage battle-tested back ends alongside more flexible, extensible front ends. JavaScript frameworks with ever-quickening advances and native applications can integrate seamlessly with "headless" back ends such as Drupal by bypassing the theme layer completely.
What are some of the implications of this newly decoupled world for front-end Drupal developers and designers? In this webinar, gain insight into the trends and new ideas emerging on the topic of decoupled Drupal. Also learn about decoupled Drupal against the backdrop of the rapidly changing front-end ecosystem, taking into consideration the impacts in areas such as Web Components, abstract DOMs, Drupal’s theme layer, and presentation.
Designers, front end developers, and Drupal themers of all skill levels will benefit from this webinar. Attendees will learn:
- Advantages and disadvantages of going headless, as well as for going with a JavaScript framework
- Managing content and headless Drupal - what this means for developers
- How to integrate with frameworks and native applications
- The future of markup and the theme layer, as well as the future of the front end and Drupal

Walks through the top 8 improvements coming to Drupal 8, including videos and code samples to demonstrate "before vs. after."
Given to the @DrupalNS meet up in Bedford, Nova Scotia on July 28, 2014.
Drupal 8 development is underway, and there are some very exciting things coming down the pipe. I'll bring you up to speed with what's going on in the major Drupal 8 Core initiatives and by the time we're finished, you will have tangible ways to get involved in the next iteration of Drupal.
This presentation is based on webchick's Drupal 8 slides. Since Drupal 8 is under very active development, the slides/presentation will change between now and the time I give it. I will upload the new version too.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
