This document discusses techniques for manipulating Drupal themes in non-obvious ways, including using the Menu Block module to create multiple configurable menu blocks, preprocessing variables in a theme's template.php file to rearrange variables before passing them to templates, and leveraging the order that templates are rendered to move variables between them.

The Flexibility of Drupal 8
No other CMS offers more flexibility then Drupal. If you need to implement a piece of functionality or change a piece of data, there are a million different ways you can go about it. However, this flexibility can also be daunting and frustrating.How do you know if you are going about your changes the “right" way? The truth of the matter is that there is no “right" way - just the “right for me” way. Any method you choose will come with it’s own sets of drawbacks and benefits.
In this session we will demonstrate the flexibility of Drupal by going over 8 different ways in Drupal 8 that data can be manipulated. From non-technical methods, "frontend" javascript & templating methods, to "Backend" methods such as building a custom module and overriding services. This session will demonstrate how to implement each one outlining their individual pros and cons, proving that no matter your skill sets you can make Drupal 8 do what you want.

The Drupal Roadmap: From D7 to D9
Drupal's release cycle follows the familiar Gartner Hype Cycle. With the release of Drupal 8.1.0, Drupal is now following a pattern that should fix the worst parts of the hype cycle.
Mastering Drupal 8’s Twig
Drupal 8 rewrote all of its HTML templates using Twig. But Drupal only uses 30% of Twig's full power. In this session, we'll start with the basics and work our way through Twig's powerful feature set.

CSS-in-JS: unexpected lessons for Drupal component design
A presentation for beginner's to Drupal 8 theming. Presented at Drupalcon Vienna on 2017-09-27. Goes through three important CSS-in-JS lessons that the JavaScript community has learned and how that can be applied to building a theme in Drupal 8.

Styleguide-Driven Development: The New Web Development
The session was originally titled "Managing Complex Projects with Design Components”, but the training I took to become a certified ScrumMaster blew my mind.
Integrating agile development with web development is actually very simple. It's called Styleguide-Driven Development.
In this session, we will discuss the two requirements for Style Guide Driven Development: component-based design and automated style guides.
Managing Complex Projects with Design Components - Drupalcon Austin 2014
Our CSS sucks. We've been building sites for over a decade using crappy, ornamentation techniques and shoddy selectors. Our styles unintentional bleed across the site. Our stylesheets are fragile and unmaintainable and full of specificity landmines. Pandas wander alone in the wilderness.
But there's no need to drown ourselves in beer. New technologies like Web Components and new techniques like OOCSS, SMACSS and BEM show us that planning before building can make our projects maintainable, easier to debug, and smaller with reduced CSS file sizes.
This session will introduce the basic techniques for CSS layering and using design components, the heart of any front-end CSS project. We will also discuss CSS/Sass organization and tips to more easily implement these ideas.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)
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.
LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
