Finding Your Way: Understanding Magento CodeBen Marks
With millions of lines of code, an unconventional approach to MVC framework architecture, and unique concepts such as layout XML, Magento can be intimidating for the new developer and even difficult for experienced Magento developers. This talk aims to help developers find answers in the codebase by breaking down the technologies, design patterns, and module structure into intuitive chunks. Starting with a high level view of Magento's MVC implementation, a pre-developed module is dissected in order to demonstrate various areas of the framework as well as the application-level settings and features which can thwart (or aide!) developers.
Topics covered include the following:
* MVC theory as implemented by Magento, especially the thin-controller, fat-view concept
* Overall module architecture * Finding method definitions when grep won't work, aka "when __call() strikes"
* Identifying poor-performing code using native code profiling tools
* An infallible (well, nearly-infallible) flowchart for finding problematic code
* Essential developer preparations

A lot of companies use the Magento 1 platform to power their eCommerce needs. So when they set out to build a major new version, the Magento team had significant pressure to deliver a modern, well-designed PHP-based system. This include a new architecture and a new database model.
In other versions of Magento (1.9) we were able to upgrade core files and with a few lines of code we were able to upgrade modules and admin accesses.
The migration process to Magento 2 it’s a complex process that includes migration of database data and migration of modules.

Magento 2 - An Intro to a Modern PHP-Based System - Northeast PHP 2015Joshua Warren
Over 200,000 companies use the Magento 1 platform to power their eCommerce needs. So when they set out to build a major new version, the Magento team had significant pressure to deliver a modern, well-designed PHP-based system. Pulling in some of the best of the PHP world through tools like Composer, phpunit and more, I believe they met that goal. In this talk, we’ll take a look at the design and architecture of Magento 2, including it’s use of dependency injections, interceptors and service contracts to provide numerous ways for developers to extend and customize the system.

Sergii Shymko: Magento 2: Composer for Extensions DistributionMeet Magento Italy
Magento 1.x uses Magento Connect to package and distribute extensions. Magento 2 uses Composer, a de facto standard dependency manager for PHP, instead. Integration with Composer changes approach to module versioning, dependencies declaration, and installation. It completely changes the way modules/themes/localizations are distributed in the Magento ecosystem.

Sergii Shymko - Code migration tool for upgrade to Magento 2Meet Magento Italy
Since the official release of Magento 2 in November 2015, upgrading from Magento 1.x has become a goal for store owners and extension vendors. Being a major release, Magento 2 has made leaps forward in the application architecture, which contributes to the upgrade complexity. One of the major challenges is upgrade of a codebase. Code migration tool has been created to tackle this task. Current presentation goes over the capabilities of the tool. We discuss how to employ the tool for a successful upgrade project.
If you already worked with the e-commerce software Magento you know it's the same as with folk music or Bayern Munich: you either love it or you hate it. The reason for this is that Magento is both flexible and complex, resource intensive and very capable. Plus it's about 7 years old now and still it's one of the (if not the) most popular cart softwares. But behold! Finally, Magento 2 is on the horizon and should be available by the end of the year. Let's have a look at the foundation of Magento 2, its current state and when you may want to use it.
A day in July, Magento 2 Merchant Beta was officially announced. This release brings Magento to the last stage before the general availability (GA) of Magento 2 in Q4 2015. Are your curious about how it looks? Find the secrets here!
How to create a simple module in Magento 2.0MageWorld
The beta version of Magento 2 was released several months ago and after that there are some updates on this beta version as well. With developers, Magento 2.0 is quite challenging because resources to learn are very limited.
Understand such difficulties, MageWorld are happy to introduce you a tutorial series on Magento 2.0. We hope you will enjoy them and make use of it easily!
Let’s get started with the first post: “How to create a simple module in Magento 2.0”

Make implementation of third party elements in magento 2 in 5-times easierElena Kulbich
There is one magic tool that simplifies development on Magento 2. We recommend remembering its name, because today we are giving kudos to one and only - the 'Composer'. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on, and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Sometimes Composer is referred to as the library manager since this is how it works in general, but when used for some definite local project, Composer becomes a Dependency Manager.
When comparing Magento 2 and Magento 1, you can see that the last one has quite an inflexible structure. Shift from Magento 1 to Magento 2 can be compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, where Pink Floyd gave their famous concert. Magento 1 is perceived as a monolith structure where each module is like another brick of the solid wall. In Magento 2 all modules are separated and independent like bricks of the broken wall, except for the modules that are marked as “dependent” in the configuration. So the Composer helps to crash the unbreakable wall.

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.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. Whoever you are an extension or theme developer, you should spend time reading this
blog post because you’ll understand more about theme and template structure in
Magento 2.
I will divide this tutorial into 2 parts. The part one is about primary elements in Theme
package. Part 2 (that I will post next week) will reveal how to customize in Magento 2.
Part 1
3. Elements
a. Theme structure in Magento 2
b. Layout
c. New language style – LESS
d. Mage_page element
The fundamental elements in theme
package in Magento 2
4. a. Theme structure in
Magento 2
MVC structure in Magento 2 is clearer than in Magento 1.x. Modules in
Magento 2 will also be added View element in the module folder structure.
Catalog module: app/code/Magento/Catalog/ is an example for you.
5. Please pay attention to View element which is in the same position with
Controller, Model. In the View folder, there are below elements:
6. We can see that the inside structure has 3 elements, in which base element is
moved out from <area>. The folder structure in <area> folder includes layout,
templates, web.
For example, frontend has 3 fundamental folders
7. + Layout folder contains all the layout file of module (similar to layout file of
Magento 1.x which is contained in all layout folders of theme). The code of
these layouts, of course, have different structure. I will write in details in
the specific part for layout file below.
+ Template folder has all template.phtml file, which is file rendered into html
as we know in Magento 1.x, inside code is not very different, just php code
mixes with html code.
+ Web folder is a totally new folder in Magento 2. You can see the image in the
next slide
8. New Web folder in Magento 2
+ The folders: css – stylesheet, js, media –
images are grouped. It replaces for 3
folders: css, images, js in previous
skin/frontend/base/default. In other words,
in Magento 2, the old skin folder is
removed and divided into elements in each
module.
9. b. Layout
In Magento 2, each module has a default layout which can be overwritten and
expanded by another layout.
Eg: app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
Magento 2 separates layout files into particular handle
10. Handle declaration is nearly the same as the previous rule:
catalog_product_view – is a handle according to module and controller action
The definition for page we want to apply the layout is more specifically by
declaring
catalog_product_view_type_simple_id_128
Or we can call to include other handles
Here is the example about layout file position of
Catalog module:
11. Handle declaration is nearly the same as the previous rule:
catalog_product_view – is a handle according to module and controller action
The definition for page we want to apply the layout is more specifically by
declaring
catalog_product_view_type_simple_id_128
Or we can call to include other handles
Here is the example about layout file position of
Catalog module:
12. + Base layout is a default layout area of each module. It’s not recommended to
edit in these layout files if it’s not your custom module.
Eg:
app/code/Magento/Checkout/view/frontend/layout/checkout_cart_item_render
ers.xml
__app/code/<Namespace>/<Module>|__/view|__/<area>|__/layout|–
<layout_file1>.xml|–<layout_file2>.xml
Base Layout
13. + Theme layouts is the theme outside the module, allowing customizing default
layout of module by reporting corresponding <Namespace>_<Module> in theme
folder
Eg:
app/design/frontend/Magento/blank/Magento_Checkout/layout/
Theme Layout
14. + Each layout file calls for one handle and others called
+ Name of layout file is the name of handle layout. Eg: checkout_cart_index
+ Layout file called is in layout folder
+ Eg:
To create a layout file, follow the rules:
<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<update handle="page_one_column" />
<referenceContainer name="content">
<!-- ... -->
</referenceContainer>
</layout>
15. + If layout file belongs to different module, the order to run will be: independent
module, dependent module and then alphabetical order of file name.
+ If file belongs to the same module, the order will be alphabetical order of file
name
The order to read and process layout files is described as below:
16. + Read the group of all default layout files (base), including dependent ones
+ Determine the order of inherited or overwritten files
+ Add all expanded layout, replace layout in base, get in parent layout, replace
parent layout files which are overwritten by the child ones
The steps to proceed layout of the system:
22. c. New language style -
LESS
LESS is added as higher-level than CSS. It is translated into CSS thanks to LESS
library in php. We’re still allowed to add CSS URL in the source to use directly.
