Learn:
-How decoupled architecture can help future-proof a website
-How decoupled architecture leverages a wider set of experts by clearly delineating front and back-end
-How to use modules and patterns to build decoupled websites using Drupal 7 and WordPress
-What to expect from both Drupal 8 and the upcoming WordPress JSON API
In this session, we will rethink the role of designers, the purpose of a CMS, and how we manage and consume content. We will discuss:
(1) The tension between a design and a CMS. Should your design be optimized for your CMS? Or should you modify your CMS to achieve your design? In other words, are you walking the dog, or is the dog walking you?
(2) "Headless" Drupal: Drupal as a backend with multiple frontends. Drupal's theming layer is difficult to master and expensive to upgrade between major releases. We will discuss how the frontend and backend can be decoupled to provide better experiences for users, developers, and designers alike.
(3) Content as a service. Decoupling isn't just about separating the frontend from the backend or making upgrades easier. In fact, the real power of headless Drupal is separating content from presentation, allowing you to connect any number of websites, channels, or devices to a single source of content through an API!
(4) TWiT.tv case study. We'll close by discussing how Four Kitchens work with This Week in Tech to relaunch TWiT.tv as a decoupled Drupal site with an exposed API allowing their fanbase to directly access content.
Get ready for some really big, innovative ideas!

Advancing Content Management for Omni-Channel User Experiences by Roland Bene...eZ Systems
Roland Benedetti Chief Product and Marketing Officer at eZ Systems presented at re\VISION NYC on December 12, 2016. He spoke about what role content plays in a successful omni-channel user experience strategy. Content is key for digital success, but the reality is content by itself is nothing. We need to connect the right content to the right users and engage them throughout the customer journey in a consistent, meaningful way. In this talk, Roland Benedetti will share ideas on how content management technology can help organizations succeed with their content across channels and he'll also share some pitfalls to avoid.
The WP REST API infrastructure was introduced in WordPress 4.4. The introduction of this infrastructure allows WordPress developers to now use WordPress as a headless CMS. A headless CMS has its frontend component (the head) stripped and removed from its backend, and what remains is a backend delivering content via an API. Some common use cases for headless CMS are as follows:
Serving data to other web applications
Mobile Apps
Websites and web apps built with MVC-style JavaScript frameworks
Developers can install the WP REST API plugin to expose endpoints for WordPress for posts, pages, media and users. Developers can also extend the WordPress core REST infrastructure to register their own endpoints for custom post types and WordPress options.
The WP REST API plugin will expose database content via JSON. This data can be used by developers to create sites using JavaScript frameworks such as React and also use the JSON data in mobile apps.
Bronson will explain and demonstrate how you can use WordPress and the WP REST API to create a website that uses React on the frontend and WordPress on the backend as a headless CMS.
Interoperability of components built with different frameworksSouvik Basu
As React, Vue, Angular and other Frontend frameworks mature, more and more projects embrace them in production. It has reached a point where a project written in React wants to use Angular or Vue components (and vice versa). We will explore pragmatic ways to use components created using different frameworks in the same app.
I am working on an Angular project for one of our clients. It recently acquired a company which is invested into React for few years. There is a plan to merge our products which has a lot of feature overlap. To use capabilities of existing teams, it was decided to use React components within Angular app. This is when we explored all possibilities of inter operations between frameworks. This talk will be case study of our work and what you can take away from it

With the performance gains promised by HHVM and PHP 7, WordPress site admins are living in pretty exciting times. The PHP world at large is in a proverbial space race, and every WordPress site will (eventually) benefit. But early adopters and folks who manage their own servers shouldn’t be the only ones who get early access to these face melting bumps in speed. In this talk, I’ll be introducing you to things you can do to get your code ready for these next generation hosting environments. And we’ll cover where you can host your code once it’s ready. If you’re interested in attending this talk, a passing familiarity with the command line helps, but isn’t a hard requirement.
Empowering Your Clients and Be an Advocate for YourselfLinchpin
One of the biggest challenges any business owner, freelancer, project manager or customer support expert comes across is gaining trust of their potential and current clients.
Within this session I will be sharing insights into clearly establishing project plans for yourself and clients; with the over arching goal to stay organized and hold each other accountable. I will be speaking about pitfalls of going too far out of your comfort zone or taking on projects that aren’t “quite right”. I’ll touch on jumping into Higher Education, E-Commerce, Online Publications and simply taking on your first big project.
Lastly I’ll provide examples of scenarios that have and have not worked for myself and my team in relation to educating our clients to get the most out of WordPress by getting into the WordPress dashboard and feel comfortable to take ownership of their content and their website because you’ve got their back!

Joomla! multiplied - How to run Multi-Sites - JandBeyond 2014Viktor Vogel
This presentation was held at the international Joomla! conference JandBeyond 2014 in Königstein im Taunus, Germany.
Note: This is a shortened version of the entire presentation since I have added only my part.
Here is the blog: http://www.aurorasolutions.io/architecture-workflow-of-modern-web-apps/
In the IT industry the biggest problem we regularly face is the abundance of choice. We have tons of frameworks, languages, tools, platforms, etc. Although for competition purposes; multiple choices are ultimately very good but we usually find ourselves in paralysis when we have to choose among them for our next project.
People usually still consider that (frontend) of web applications are created by mixing together HTML, CSS & JavaScript without giving any thoughts about the frontend architecture, workflow and testing; but things have definitely changed now since last couple of years and in this presentation I try to explain that how JavaScript and it’s related stuff has become first class citizen and how the new workflow looks like. And I will also explain that how the architecture of modern web applications is migrating from thick server-side applications to smart clients and services on their journey North to pure Microservices.
Here is the list of different tools and frameworks that have been discussed in this presentation:
* Yeoman: (http://yeoman.io/) Yeoman is the web’s scaffolding tool for modern webapps. Yeoman helps you to kickstart new projects, prescribing best practices and tools to help you stay productive.
* Bower: (http://bower.io/) Bower is used for dependency management, so that you no longer have to manually download and manage your scripts. Web sites are made of lots of things — frameworks, libraries, assets, utilities, and rainbows. Bower manages all these things for you.
* Grunt: (http://gruntjs.com/) Grunt is a task-based command line build tool for JavaScript projects. When you work on large projects you have couple of things that you do regularly and you would like them to be automated; Grunt is the tool to solve that problem!
* HTML5 Boilerplate: (https://html5boilerplate.com/) HTML5 Boilerplate is a professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.
* Twitter Bootstrap: (http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/) Sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development.
* Jasmine: (https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine) Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests.
* Karma: (https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/) A simple tool that allows you to execute JavaScript code in multiple real browsers.
* PhantomJS: (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/) PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with JavaScript.
* Protractor: (https://github.com/angular/protractor) Protractor is an end-to-end test framework for AngularJS applications.
Keep it simple, but make it advanced. Local is a fuss-free, cost-free way to spin up local WordPress sites, test your latest site updates, and speed up your development workflow. Leave this session with a renewed confidence in your development!

In a world where mobile apps, single page applications and API-based companies are the new normal, what a content management solution needs to do to adapt.
This talk will present 2 years of real world experience using Plone as the CMS component for companies that require some level of content management but integrated with their core solutions.
In this session, we will explore the how the recent explosion of devices has disrupted the process of designing a website that we've crafted over the past decade.
When designers only have one instance of website (i.e., desktop) to design, the layout is uniform. The header, content area, sidebar, and footer all remain static. Furthermore, the elements are relatively uniform as well. Buttons, navigation, typography, and images are all basically the same across across the various pages. But if you are designing a responsive website – one whose look and feel adapts depending whether you're using a phone, laptop, or tablet – then these elements and especially the layout begin to diverge.
After this session, you should leave with the confidence to argue the importance of responsive design to your client or boss – and that the with the proper strategy, the extra effort and costs can be justified (and hopefully minimized).

Testing Your Code as Part of an Industrial Grade WorkflowPantheon
There are a lot of obvious benefits to using version control for your projects, but there are a lot of non obvious benefits too. In this SlideShare, learn how to create an industrial grade version control workflow using Git and automatic testing. Topics include:
- How to Use Git Branches: Instead of having all of the developers work on the same “master” branch, you can have developers work on separate branches that can be created per developer, per feature, or even per ticket in your project management system.
- How to Do Performance Testing: Instead of crossing your fingers when you site gets a lot of traffic, be sure that your site can handle the traffic by doing performance testing on each deployment that you do.
- How to Do Cross Browser Testing: Instead of firing up a bunch of Virtual Machines to test different browsers and devices, set up an automatic script so that every time you are looking to do a deploy you get a bunch of screenshots to review.
- How to Do Visual Regression Testing: If you are pushing a change that shouldn’t effect the front end of the site, wouldn’t it be nice to verify that? Learn how to visually compare a “before” and “after” version of your site to see where (if anywhere) visual changes happen.
- How to Notify You Of Deployments: Instead of wondering if code has been deployed, learn how to integrate your workflow with chat solutions like Hipchat/Slack or more traditional solutions like SMS or Email.
If you are a developer or manage developers on web projects, this session will help you learn how to level up your workflow and do a lot of really powerful testing on your project every time you do a commit.
Test Coverage for Your WP REST API ProjectPantheon
Are you writing full test coverage for your endpoints as you go? If not, you absolutely need to be, for two primary reasons: security and reliability. If you aren’t writing test coverage for your endpoints, sorry Charlie—your endpoints are probably insecure, and probably behave unexpectedly for clients.
This tutorial is everything you need to get started.
Drupal 8 sets a new standard for ease of use, and allows users to create and deploy content in a whole new way. You’ve seen the platform designed for Drupal, now see Drupal designed for the platform.
Why Your Site is Slow: Performance Answers for Your ClientsPantheon
Surface-level technical issues like slow queries and redundant JavaScript files are often blamed when a site is slow, although there are numerous factors that can affect performance. In practice, web teams need to ask “why” repeatedly in order to get to the root cause. This presentation will dive into the many answers to this question and look for the root causes of slow sites.
A fast website is a good website, but making a website fast takes work. This session of couch coding will discuss the tips & tricks necessary to build the feeds & speeds into your website to make it soar.
WP or Drupal (or both): A Framework for Client CMS Decisions Pantheon
WordPress and Drupal are powerful open source tools. Many agencies specialize in one or the other, but being able to effectively use both can be a tremendous strategic benefit. In this webinar we’ll discuss how to deploy both WordPress and Drupal effectively as an agency.
