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.

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.

The Death of Enterprise Software?

Tom Wentworth's picture
Last week, IBM announced disappointing earnings, which caused the biggest decline for IBM shares in eight years. IBM lost $19 billion in market value. IBM’s drop follows Oracle, who also reported disappointing earnings in its last quarter. Both companies had a similar explanation for why the numbers were down - a shortfall in sales execution in their software businesses. Really? It’s always easy to blame sales people for poor performance. But are we expected to believe that the same sales team who delivered consistent performance in the past is now to blame for a huge revenue miss? Or are... More

Drolutions - On Drupal's flexible framework

Frederik Demets's picture
Part of being a member of the Acquia Solutions Architecture team is coming up with creative solutions on a daily basis. When discussing a certain use case, usually our team comes up with at least 4 different ways of solving a particular problem in Drupal. Ranging from ingenious, to stark raving mad or even just plain funny, but all technically valid. While discussing these, sometimes, outrageous ideas get merged into a valid solution that meets all requirements. This got me thinking, why is that? We all know Drupal can do lots of different things. And by "we" I mean people who use Drupal on a... More

We figure out together what's the biggest thing holding Drupal back right now, and whatever it is, we just tackle it." This is part one of a two-part conversation. Here, we discuss... More

How-to with Cloud API and Cloud Hooks

Sahana Anantha Murthy's picture
Drupal has so much to offer to developers. It allows you to experiment, innovate and work with innumerable modules. Drupal does not try to limit you. Wouldn’t it be great if your hosting platform also offered multiple interfaces and functionality? Well, Acquia Cloud allows you to extend its capabilities using cloud API and cloud hooks. Some of you are perhaps familiar with the workflow UI page on the cloud platform. The UI lets you instantly deploy code, files and databases using a simple “Drag and Drop” function. But as a developer, I would like to know that I have more options to work... More
