PHP

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.

Companies love analytics, but customers value privacy. Recent legislation such as Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the USA aim to restrict the ways that web developers can legally track visitors. We'll learn how to achieve basic compliance with these regulations using contributed modules for Drupal 7, 8, and 9, and I'll show you how to achieve strict compliance by writing Drupal Behaviors in a custom module. 

Leveraging the simplesamlphp_auth module to enable a Drupal 7/8 site to support SSO can be a daunting task for a beginner.

Spend an hour with me as I share with you how I have answered these and many other questions while working with simplesamlphp and System Administrator teams to go FTW with SAML based SSO.

Walk away with knowing the basics of:

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'.

Over the course of my 13 long (and sometimes painful!) years of developing in Drupal, I’ve learned a number of tips, tricks, and strategies that will help one become a better Drupal front-end developer. Many of these are too short to merit their own session, but are too long to fit into a lightning-style talk.

In this session, I’m going to combine 3-4 unrelated topics that will leave you excited to go do more Drupal front-end work!
