This session will explore techniques that web development teams and QA teams can use with Probo.CI to automate accessibility testing with some command line tools and APIs available today.

508 compliance and WCAG 2.0 have been around for decades in an attempt to make sure websites are accessible to all people, regardless of disability.

The Drupal community has embraced automated testing tools like PHPUnit and Behat and there are plenty of tutorials online to help you get them up and running.

Decoupling Drupal (“headless” Drupal) is a technique whereby the CMS sends data via JSON to the client and passes on responsibility of rendering and controller logic to the browser.

In this session we will discuss a bit about why and how we implemented the VA.gov CMS (Drupal 8) as a backend Content API to feed a decoupled, Metalsmith static HTML build and deployment system for the frontend.

CommunicateHealth specializes in building consumer-friendly websites with complex user interfaces for Federal Government agencies such as the Office of Disease Prevention and Promotion and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

During the last decade we've experienced (and continue to experience!) a great tide of Drupal adoption in government. Today nearly 40% of .gov sites are powered by Drupal, and that number keeps growing.

Most development agencies have started the migration from VM's to containers and using docker.

As a tech leader, what are you doing for yourself and your team to build resiliency and compassion in times of uncertainty?

Instead of adding a hook to your module, make it even easier and better to extend by using the Plugin API. Drupal 8 makes heavy use of plugins and this presentation will help you learn how to make use of them as well!

Drupal 8 was released in December and it provides by default accessibility that is head and shoulders above any other CMS. For the last 8 years we have been working on implementing defaults that are good for everyone.
