You're organised, you love spreadsheets, you're a great cheerleader, you handle a backlog with superhero skills, and now you're faced with managing a Drupal project and everything just feels foreign. It's not you, it's Drupal. The mix of site building, front end development, backend development, and over 20,000 contributed modules makes project management for Drupal exceptionally frustrating for people who've not worked with Drupal before.
This session will cover:
- the basic Drupal development workflow (from a developer's perspective, but without using developer jargon)
writing useful tickets which developers can accomplish
- estimation tips for multi-discipline tickets (design / back end / front end)
- ideal team structures -- and what to do if you can't get them
Updated from DrupalCamp London to include the truisms I've learned about being a first-time project manager.

If you do want to learn JavaScript which is considered the language of the web (I presume you are here for that reason), there are a lot of great JavaScript resources out there. Lucky for you, I have pull together a huge list of resources that will either help you get started with JavaScript or broaden your understanding if you already know the basics.
'10 Great but now Overlooked Tools' by Graham ThomasTEST Huddle
The idea for this presentation came directly from EuroSTAR 2011. Sitting on the bus back to the conference centre after attending the Gala Dinner, a discussion started, about industry luminaries who turn up at conferences and give presentations which roughly say "Don't do all the stuff that I told you to do 5 years ago! Do this stuff now." But, but, but . . . .
As we got talking I realised how many simple effective tools I no longer used, because they have either become overlooked, forgotten and thus fallen into disuse, or because modern methods claim not to need them and they are redundant. I wondered if any of them were worth looking at again - starting with my trusty flowcharting template; I realised it is a great tool which I have overlooked for far too long!
Here is my list of 10 great but now overlooked tools:
• Flowcharts
• Prototypes
• Project Plans
• Mind Maps
• Tools we already have at our disposal like ....
• Aptitude Tests
• Hexadecimal Calculators
• Desk Checking
• Data Dictionaries and Workbenches
This is my list of really useful tools that I think are overlooked. In the webinar I will outline each tool, why I think it was great, and what we are missing out by not using it.
And it naturally follows that if there are some tools we have overlooked then there are also some tools that we should get rid of! I will identify some.
Hopefully this webinar will give you a different perspective on tools to use for testing, some tools that may be improved upon or plain discarded, and help you think about the tools you currently use and maybe to view them in a different light.
A gentle and brief introduction to WebAssembly with 5W (Who, When, Why, (for) What & Where) format. Links to technical talks and resources are also included.
We are obsessed with coding and creating automated workflows and optimisations. And yet our final products aren't making it easy for people to use them. Somewhere, we lost empathy for our end users and other developers. Maybe it is time to change that. Here are some ideas.
PWA are a hot topic and it is important to understand that they are a different approach to apps than the traditional way of packaging something and letting the user install it. In this keynote you'll see some of the differences.
Keynote at halfstackconf 2017 discussing the falsehood of the idea that in order to survive the automation evolution everybody needs to learn how to code. Machines can code, too.
“If Tetris has taught me anything, it’s that errors pile up and accomplishments disappear” is a common quote and it seems we’re living this to its full extend as web developers. We fail to celebrate the successes we have and the tools that are at our disposal but we’re never short of finding reasons why things don’t work. We also tend to pile on technology on technology to solve problems that may actually not exist and thus clog up the web. In this talk Chris Heilmann wants to remind us what we achieved and how we should celebrate it and how we should stop trying to solve problems that are simply beyond our control.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. There is a lot of love for
JavaScript on the web…
💚❤💙💛💜
4. With good
reasons…
😃 Very flexible language
😃 Runs everywhere
😃 Automatically available in browsers
😃 Multiple, open-source engines available
😃 Huge community
😃 Lightweight development environment
(text editor/browser is enough?)
5. Lately JavaScript has a lot of visibility
which leads to obsession instead of love…
🔥💵📈💯📢
6. Which leads to a lot of pressure
and anxiety for us developers…
😫😓😭😱😡
7. Tell me if this
sounds familiar…
🤔 I feel like I’m out of the loop
🤔 By the time I get to play with a new JS
feature, people already blog it is
“considered harmful”
🤔 Everbody talks about flügelhorn.js but I
have no idea what I’d need it for – am I
building things nobody else does?
🤔 What are all these NPM modules on my
HD?
🤔 Why do I get all these warnings when I
build something and how come this is
not a problem?
9. JavaScript used to
be easy - it was
just one language
in the web stack.
HTML
(Structure)
CSS
(Look and Feel)
JavaScript
(Behaviour)
10. Due to its flexible
nature, we
extended its use
cases massively…
11. JavaScript now
is a lot more…
✅ Web Development
✅ Task runners
✅ Package management
✅ Module-driven development
✅ Extension of software (browsers, editors)
✅ APIs
✅ Services
✅ Servers
✅ Fat client applications
✅ Compilation target
✅ Embeddable runtime
✅ Argument firestarter
12. Enhance HTML
progressively
Use libraries
Use APIs and
services
Use node, gulp, grunt, NPM
and others to manage your
tasks and builds
Write code for Node,
other systems and
services to write apps.
Different uses require different skill levels…
13. Actively participate in
systems used earlier
in the timeline…
Participate in extending
editors and development
environments…
Work on meta languages
and ideas to bridge the
gap between JS and
higher level languages.
Actively participate in
inventing the next
version of the language
20. Build tools and process balancing act
Use what enables
others to work with
you…
Use what helps you
write maintainable
code…
21. Progressive enhancement balancing act
Control the UX with
JavaScript and own
the failure cases.
Rely on the browser
to give a “working”
experience.
22. Supporting the past balancing act…
Use powerful
language
additions…
Don’t block out
older browsers and
environments…
23. I can’t help you with all these decisions. It is
up to you and the products you work on
what makes sense and what doesn’t…
24. However, here’s
a few pointers…
🤓 Learn the language - learn how it works,
its strengths and weaknesses.
😉 Use polyfills and libraries when you
know what they do. Make sure you can
remove them and upgrade them if
needed.
😍 ES6 is the current, ratified version of
JavaScript. Use it, don’t wait for it.
🤓 Promises are an important part of every
new JavaScript API. Good to get your
head around them.
😱 Don’t panic! It’s a buffet, not a main
course. Pick what doesn’t make you sick.
