Sessions

This talk will cover how we work on 3 separate Drupal installs with a relatively small team and the lessons we've learnt over the years.

In addition I'll be covering technical, project management and stakeholder engagement challenges we've overcome.

I've been working as a Drupal developer at the University of Westminster for the past few months.

I will be speaking about my recent experiences of developing e-commerce website for a garden centre, and then a different project for a university.

I'll be guiding you through some of the things I found different between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8, with focus on all of the new things that have now come into Commerce core.

After going through the configuration options and what you get out of the box, I'll give real life examples of how I customised Drupal Commerce to fit project requirements.

Performance has a significant (if not the most) impact when addressing the user experience of a website or any kind of digital platform. Long response times can lead users to lose their attention and eventually even abandon the process you wanted them to go through. In this session we will go through the various aspects of both front- and back-end performance and look into ways of defining, measuring and testing performance of web applications.

There are many ways you learn anything new that interests you, like attending classes for the same, talking to ones who have done it already etc. But what I believe is that the best way to learn something is by doing it practically!

Here, I am talking about learnings you can get while organising an event (example local Drupal Camps). In my opinion, there are so many things one can acquire when working towards making the event successful and that is what I will be presenting in this session.
