Back End Development

This presentation will explore the lessons learned while building and maintaining the Schema.org Blueprints module for Drupal.  The lessons learn include…

• What are the common and important content models and relationships provided Schema.org?
• What lesser-known Drupal modules can help build a better content model and content authoring experience? 
• What is the best approach for building a website using the Schema.org Blueprint module?
   

I would like to talk about the Configuration Split module in Drupal 8/9. One of the coolest features introduced in Drupal 8 was Configuration management.  The developers now can easily push configuration changes to different environments. There are cases where certain configurations need to be enabled only in certain environments.

The Migrate API is a powerful and flexible system to get content and configuration into Drupal. This presentation will take you behind the curtains to understand how the migration system works and what assumptions it makes. Along the way, we are going to explore how it integrates with other subsystems like the Entity API and Field API for import operations. Additionally, we will explore how to alter migrations programmatically.

You will learn about:

While building any web application, One of the prime data type that every developer has to operate on are Strings. These operations could be related to search, manipulation, or analysis of the strings, And these operations could be repetitive across various features of the web application. Such kind of repetitiveness has many risks and could prove costly if the operational code is not efficient.

Let's Write Secure Drupal Code!

At times the most important issue seen while developing an application is security and vulnerabilities, the knowledge of this is required for each and every individual from developer to QAs. This session is for everyone to have an understanding of the issues that arise while going to production or taking an application live. This session will give you the knowledge of application vulnerabilities and the ways to fix those, one can fix a issue only when the one knows about its existence. 

This session includes the interaction between the AWS Rekognition service to identify objects and faces in photos and the Drupal site using the Media Entity and S3 File system modules.

Functionality

- Upload images to drupal. 

- Stream wrapper set to s3 bucket

- Cloud watch notifies lambda trigger

- Asynchronous task is run and data sent back to Drupal

Any major data platform, like Drupal, requires you to load data before going live (sometimes a lot of data), and it is important to plan your data migration as carefully as any other part of the launch. Aaron Crosman from Attain Partners will give a talk about questions to ask yourself when planning that data migration. Aaron will provide questions you can pose to help ensure your plan makes sense and will lead to success.

We’ve been working with Drupal for a long time: since way back in 2006, when Drupal had just reached version 4.6. The platform has come a long way, and in particular Drupal 8 and 9 have been huge jumps forward. 

Meanwhile, so has the rest of the publishing industry. Building content online has never been easier, with products like Squarespace, Wix, and even WordPress defining the new standard for easy-to-use publishing tools.

The composer as a dependency management tool for PHP is a complete feature-rich package that addresses a lot of developer and deployment problems. But unfortunately, most of the developers only get to know about commands like 'composer require drupal/module', 'composer install', and 'composer update'. One such lesser-known and lesser-used feature out of many is 'Composer Scripts'.

In this session we will cover the following:

The ultimate goal of a business is to increase their customers and the corporate website plays an important role in this process. Customer growth requires the lead generation and increased conversions. Higher numbers of web visits generate more leads - so this is a basic starting point in your business strategy to increase customers.

Many organizations use Drupal to build their websites today. It is essential for developers and marketers to have a basic understanding of increasing traffic to a Drupal website. This session will explore this topic in more detail.
