This document discusses mu-plugins in WordPress. Mu-plugins require manual installation, activate automatically, are persistent, and do not work in subdirectories like regular plugins. The document provides an example of using a mu-plugin to add CSS to a theme in a future-proof way. It notes that mu-plugins grant abilities beyond regular plugins, themes, and dropins due to their persistence, and are useful for library code and APIs.

Are you sick of Merge Hell? Do your feature branches go rogue? Do you spend more time fiddling with your Version Control System than doing actual development work? Then Trunk Based Development might be for you. Facebook does it. Google does it. Instead of messing with multiple branches, just use your master branch. Always. In addition to giving you an overview about how Trunk Based Development works, where it shines and where the pitfalls are, this talk will also cover the necessary techniques to succeed with it, such as Branch By abstraction, Feature Toggles and backwards compatible Database Migrations.

Becoming a drupal master builder - Given at Drupal Camp London 2016
I've been building Drupal sites for a number of years and have a broad experience building Drupal sites with various levels of complexity. I often work with other agencies to build Drupal sites or to migrate existing sites and as a result I will often see some very common mistakes and errors that shouldn't be happening. Due to Drupal's popularity I also see Drupal sites in the wild and can clearly see the same mistakes going on there as well.
During this talk I'll show some basic site building tips as well as some more complex and technical strategies that will make your Drupal sites better and more maintainable. Rather than just show you what to do, I'll also be explaining why doing those things are important and how developers and their websites will benefit from them. Although I'll be mainly concentrating on Drupal 7, some of these techniques are also applicable to Drupal 8.
Streamlining Your Template Structures When Building ThemesCameron Jones
Understanding the WordPress template hierarchy is a key component to understanding how themes work. However, many themes, including free, premium and custom, will include some inefficient practices that make them difficult to extend and customise.
In this talk you will:
- Gain an understanding of the theme template hierarchy
- Receive an in-depth look into WordPress actions, filters and template parts
- Learn how to apply this information to building themes that will lead to writing DRYer and more flexible code

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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!
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).

Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

** This is a use at your own risk kind of situation
7. Why use mu-plugins?
● They grant you abilities that other systems of
modification do not (dropins, themes, plugins)
8. ● They grant you abilities that other do not
(dropins, themes, plugins)
● The persistence model can be used to your
advantage (library code, api’s etc...)
Why use mu-plugins?

17. So what’s the point?
● Can’t I just add the css to the main style sheet?

● Can’t I just add the css to the main style sheet?
● Or put it in it’s own file and @import it?
19. So what’s the point?
● Can’t I just add the css to the main style sheet?
● Or put it in it’s own file and @import it?
● Or enqueue it through function.php?

● Really I’m having trouble connecting the dots, man.
21. Well the point is that:
None of those methods are future proof.
You are responsible for reimplemention after EVERY
update.
None of those methods are easy to troubleshoot.
A plugin built like this can be turned off
Hey man this is just a high level example.
Actually this is a real world example.
