Learn how to take full advantage of Views' power to create many amazing pages and blocks. Instead of building 10 different view displays with different filters, learn how a contextual filter would require only a single display. But Wait There's More! Views Slices, Dices and makes Julienne Fries Using filters, Views can "... Development and Site Building Beginner Gregg Marshall

Aha! Understanding and Using Render Arrays in Drupal 8 theme() has been a popular function used by Drupal developers since Drupal 4.7. Drupal 7 core calls theme() over 200 times alone. But theme() no longer exists in Drupal 8 and there is no object-oriented equivalent. If we can’t call theme(), how do we render our data with the Twig templates that we’re all so excited about? Render arrays. Every use of a Drupal 8 template starts with a render array and many variables within a template are render arrays themselves. While they did exist before...

Learning How to Learn Drupal --- Description Drupal is a great content framework but it can be daunting for new developers or content managers to master it's various intricacies. Some have likened this to a "learning cliff". The toughest part of learning open source software is how to teach yourself in what is probably a DIY education. This presentation will discuss how to mitigate the major sources of Drupal learning anxiety, and showcase the wealth of resources available so you can bootstrap your way to open source... Beginner Beginner davidcsonka
Automated Visual regression testing and Drupal What is Visual Regression Testing?   Well, it's testing your site for the introduction of bugs (regressions) that affect the look of your site. Maybe you added some styling to one of the product pages on your eCommerce site, and after you pushed those changes to production you find out that, inadvertently, you affected the layout of your checkout page. Or a tweak to the footer layout broke the mega menus in a subsection of the site. Visual Regression Testing is the process you... Development and Site Building Beginner TechNikh

Delivering mail in Drupal 8 The idea of sending mail is to get it to the end user and get them to read it right?

Tip Your Hat to Mr. Behat: An Introduction to Behavior Driven Development within Drupal If you're like me, you probably heard about Test Driven development (TDD) at some point when starting to look into to web development and programming in general. You were told that no development work should start until there is a test written first, and that test shall be red to start. Then you write code to make the test turn green, and eventually you have Christmas party at the end of your sprint full of passing builds for all the good boys and girls...except for me, the guy who gets a lump...

Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. "Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." - Dwight D. Eisenhower In this statement famously attributed to Eisenhower, the implication is that even a well made plan with the best intentions often ends up not being worth the paper it was written on, once the troops hit the beach and the situation moves from speculation to reality. When a plan contradicts the real world, the real world always wins. Knowing that even the best plan will almost certainly fail to account for... Business and Open Source Beginner seddings
Advanced Balloon Animals Object oriented programming is a bit like making balloon animals - you start with a blob, and by imposing a template on it, induce a behavior that causes pleasure. (Yeah, that's a bit of a stretch, but the title was sort of handed to me.) To write a useful module in Drupal 8, you need to be able to manage some basics of object oriented programming.  Let's build a module together and see if we end up with a giraffe, or if a loud noise and a scrap of rubber. (Happily, as with balloons,... Development and Site Building Intermediate jcfiala
Drupal 8 SEO - 12 Essential Modules and Configurations SEO is critical to the success of most web projects.

Use Tugboat to Push Your Team into CI At Lullabot we work on some pretty high profile websites with some very large teams.  Over the years we've honed our development and deployment processes to help keep the codebase clean and keep the features rolling out while keeping the bugs out of the code and making sure the stakeholders are happy.   Adding processes and testing often means reducing velocity, so built a tool that not only helps us prevent the velocity drain, but actually speeds up our development process...

How do we differentiate Drupal, but more importantly, how do we elevate the conversation above just a mundane comparison exercise... Business and Open Source Beginner mtndan
Front End TDD TDD (Test Driven Development) has been used for a long time and has proven itself to be a strong methodology for building solid applications. In the beginning, you might feel like you are wasting time writing tests, but you will spend much less time later on finding the root causes of problems. More importantly, you can concentrate on small units of code and make sure each unit is of good quality. The numbers of tests will grow with the main code, and essentially, you’ll get early feedback on... Front End Intermediate rymcveigh

Functor, Monad, and other scary words (that aren't so scary) Functional programming has a lot of great built in benefits.
