Katelyn Fogarty's picture

Hello DrupalCon! Have you arrived yet? DrupalCon Portland starts officially tomorrow but come and get your badges and awesome t-shirts. I was going through the session list to pick out what sessions would be most beneficial for me and I wanted to share what I thought were the sessions every digital marketer or Webmaster should attend.Tuesday: 9:00 am – 10:00 am OR 204 - BlackmeshThe Future of Views This session is directed towards site builders and people who have used views before. Views are very powerful in Drupal and as a marketer have allowed me to pull dynamic content fast and keep my website up to date. Drupal 8 will have views in core so I hope to learn what changes will be made from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 in views and how to best prepare for this change. Hope to see you there.

10:15 am – 11:15 am Hall AThe wonders of Drupal This is a beginner session about Drupal, Community and DrupalCon. This session is always given before the “Driesnote” and is fun and educational. You will get some good tips about how to get the most out of your time at DrupalCon. Enjoy

10:15 am – 11:15 am OR 203 - PalantirAsset Management in Drupal 8 This session is focused for front-end developers but as a Webmaster you should know how these things work. This session is going to cover how assets are declared and managed in Drupal 8 and discuss the new possibilities. I think this is worth a listen.

Today was the official start of my first DrupalCon. As a newbie, it was a fun experience to see 3,300 Drupalists all in one room, anxious to hear from Dries, the original developer of Drupal. Here are some of my thoughts from today’s keynote: Do Well. Do Good. Change the World. Dries kicked off the keynote with a video from the head of Drupal for whitehouse.gov. After the video,... More

Automate review for security risks with source code analysis

Ben Jeavons's picture
Security issues are created in custom code when developers cut corners during development or don't make proper use of the APIs, among other reasons. There are several ways to discover such issues, including peer-review, code scanners, vulnerability scanning, and even by being exploited -- tho certainly undesirable! While each has its place and individual merits, let’s talk about security-focused... More

Drupalcon Szeged code, docs, usability sprint on Sunday

Kieran Lal's picture
On Sunday the Drupalcon organizers arranged for a code sprint at the excellent József Attila Study and Information Centre. What a difference great infrastructure makes to the productivity of a day of sprinting. The work area was the open birds of a feather lounge on the third floor. This was an ideal work area that was big enough to hold over 100 people but also allow for divided areas where we could cluster into work groups. The wireless was flawless thanks to some excellent work from the Drupalcon... More
