This session is mostly for those who is new to Drupal 8 and doesn't know where to start or has very little D8 frontend development experience.

During the session I'll talk about major changes of frontend development from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 with bunch of practical examples on Twig, Libraries, debugging, D8 theme structure, render arrays, preprocesses etc.
 

Thousands of people have contributed thousands of hours to make Drupal what it is. 
If you work with Drupal, you should seriously consider becoming one of these people.
It's good for the community; it's good for you; and it's good for your career options.

My particular area of expertise is (backend) coding. This presentation, therefore,
will touch on the following areas of opportunity, completed by gently walking the
audience through each:

• Why bother contributing
• Finding an issue to contribute to
• Understanding and reproducing the issue
• Writing a (good) patch and export it
• Updating the issue, attaching the patch
• Communicating with people you do not know

At the end of the presentation, I hope participants who already contribute to 
Drupal are reassured that the work they are doing is valued and that those who do
not yet contribute will be energised to start.

The presentation will revolve around design and development insights from the recently built dlrcoco.ie website.

I'll be discussing things we've learned in the project development process, including content strategy & information architecture, taxonomies, organic groups, dynamic content display, Solr search, content publication workflow, challenges in working with image rich content and content publishing across multiple Drupal websites with SSO Bakery.

The session is addressed to developers building enterprise level platforms on Drupal and content managers working with Drupal or looking to adopt Drupal as their content publishing platform.
