You're in it. Development has begun. You're building out content types, sorting out view modes. But wait. You have a LOT of questions for your designer. Do we really need these two components that are nearly identical?

By combining design systems with Layout Builder and Drupal features such as blocks we can deliver a "Wix" like drag and drop experience to site builders tasked with managing Drupal 8/9 websites. 

In this session attendees will learn:

Views is an indispensable tool for Drupal site builders - allowing them to create complex queries and displays without writing a single line of code. But too often developers like myself avoid these interfaces.

It’s happened to you: You’re putting together requirements for a new website, but when it comes to your existing technology, you don’t know what you don’t know. Do your third-party software platforms integrate with each other?

Run Drupal and other workloads such as SOLR, Elastic, Redis or Memcache in Kubernetes. In-depth analysis of which services are much more suited for Kubernetes.

Open source is free... so why does it cost me so much to keep my websites running?  Why am I spending so much time updating my websites and not enough time using them?

The EPA started using the U.S. Web Design System in 2016 to guide the look and feel of EPA.gov. During the migration to Drupal 8, we rebuilt the theme from scratch.

The year 2020 came in with a bang. Our plans were put on hold, our lives were changed. We all ended up with zoom fatigue trying to satisfy our human need for social contact and social change.

Two requirements that come up constantly on projects are “How do we make it easier for non-technical users to update our website?” And “How can we give content editors more flexibility?"

What attendees will gain:

This session will discuss two open source web components for visualizing and interacting with 3D objects, Google's <model-viewer> and the Smithsonian Institution's Voyager, and how the Smithsonian leverages these technologies along with…

While many government agencies have moved to incorporate Agile methods into their web development practices in recent years, there are still just as many who are reluctant to make the shift for a variety of reasons (i.e.

Unfortunately, when developing WCAG2, the Working Group did not envision the current world where mobile is almost ubiquitous.

IDEs are an incredibly powerful tool. They are also an incredibly complex and intimidating tool if you've never used one (or are new to them).

Drupal offers many powerful features out of the box—as well as  a world of possibilities via contributed and custom options. While this may be tantalizing from a technological standpoint, it may not be from the user’s perspective.

Many times, team members feel like they can't mentor others unless they are a manager or a team lead. However, mentoring allows for growth of both senior team members and junior team members.

This session focuses on how we rolled out large amounts of content using a Drupal post update script. This method was used for several tools on Farmers.gov, most recently The Disaster Assistance Tool.

Do you feel distracted by a suite of automated tools, pages of report data, and feedback on work that was designed and developed weeks and weeks ago?

Covid-19 for some sites has meant a massive surge in traffic. Some of the health related sites that we look after at amazee.io have experienced a 80x traffic increase over the last couple months.

I would like to do a quick show-and-tell of a neat feature we're using on about 5 government sites I help maintain.
