Are you new to Drupal and to DrupalCon?

Although this course is sold out, it will run again online via video conference May 3-5. You can sign up on our website or get in touch with us for more information.
What magic happens between the start of a D8 request and the page being returned? How do routes and controllers fit in? Where are services useful and how are they built?
These questions are at the "foundation" of the D8 architecture and of the Symfony framework itself. In this workshop, you'll get an intro into routes, controllers, services and events: the 4 concepts that most fundamentally drive the new Drupal. With these new tricks, we'll pull apart the layers of Drupal to see how things actually work. And ultimately, we'll uncover that it's really not all that complicated.
We're sorry, but this workshop is currently sold out. You can sign up to access the tutorials on our webiste, or join our mailing list to be notified of other oportunities to attend this workshop at local camps/conferences throughout the year. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Each iteration of Drupal introduces new and exciting ways to manage content. However, the display of content is even more important along with the knowledge of how to convert a design to a theme. While we have all read about, watched and even worked with Twig to create new themes in Drupal 8, the way we work with Twig has changed.
Module development for Drupal is more powerful than ever with Drupal 8. Object-orientation, the maturity of Drupal's various APIs, Drupal 8's new underlying Symfony (and other) components, and the emergence of Drupal Console means that developing for Drupal 8 requires some new knowledge for existing Drupal developers. This workshop is designed to introduce existing Drupal developers as well as (non-Drupal) PHP developers to some of the techniques and concepts for Drupal 8 module development.

Open Source Drupal Development is a specialty and so is Drupal Project Management. What can you do to ensure your next Drupal project is a huge success for your organizaton?
Join senior FFW staff as they share their experience working with some of the largest and most complex projects ever built and help you understand and implement best practices at every stage of your project.
Do you want to manage content in Drupal but use something else to build your UI? This is the class for you.
We know Drupal is an amazing platform for making websites, but did you know it’s also a world-class content API that can easily be integrated with other technologies? In this class you’ll learn how to combine Drupal with React, a declarative, component based UI JavaScript framework, via a Waterwheel, an SDK for working with Drupal from JavaScript, to build a simple yet elegant UI.
If you are tired of wasting time tweaking servers, testing modules, or remembering how to get Drupal working properly on a new system, then this is the training for you. Our hands-on workshop is a crash course on optimizing your workflow, using techniques that have been refined over years of professional Drupal work. We share our preferred development setup (including a Vagrant project that we’ll use to build a copy of our environment) and show you how to automate tests, deployments, and other tasks with Jenkins and Probo.CI.
The Acquia Certification Program is offering a live test center to earn your credentials while you are at DrupalCon. Testing during DrupalCon makes you eligible for a free retake if needed. Tests will be given from Monday, April 24 - Thursday, April 27. For more information and to pre-register for your test, go to acquia.com/drupalcon-certification.
Don't miss it! 8 a.m. Tuesday! Get a good seat for Dries's keynote!
A DrupalCon institution, Robert and jam's opening "Prenote" has been getting people out of bed early and excited about DrupalCon since 2010. What's not to like about an infotainment extravaganza featuring Drupal community stars and friends; music and sing-a-longs; bad jokes; technical tutorials on Git, yodelling, use of the alphabet, or proper beer pouring technique? Especially eye-opening if you've never been to DrupalCon or never gotten up early enough to see one of these yet.

Rise of Content, Commerce and Conversation:
These three Cs are coming together to transform experiences for everyone. Well content and commerce were already coming together and now Conversation is changing it all again.
We’ll start with what Conversational Marketing actually is and how it affects what you are already doing today.
We then want to go one step further and talk about how this Conversational shift can also be applied to help transform the technology architecture and team operations to better support the 3C's.
As information technology matures and becomes integral to more and more of everyday life, and as the early freewheeling era gives rise to a few dominant corporations or the widespread use of technology to surveil citizens, to replace or control workers, or to optimize decision-making mostly for the benefit of powerful, what are the options and responsibilities of the technology workforce--a workforce that benefits from the rise of these new technologies but is also increasingly confronted with uncomfortable questions about where the work they do stands in historical terms.

Well now it's your chance for you and your crack team of 4 buddies to prove it.
In the grand tradition of pub quizzes, there will be 6 rounds of 10 questions covering everything about Drupal, and a few more about general web topics. Your team will compete with the best of Drupal brains to capture the title of Drupal trivia champions. We'll have small prizes to keep things interesting.
Of course, you'll have to know it all in your head - strictly no use of mobile devices or laptops etc. allowed!
Details coming soon!
The Women in Drupal team invite you to come, meet, and mingle with other women in Drupal. We will have light appetizers available, provided by our wonderful sponsors and donators, and a cash bar will be available for drinks.
With only about 20% of DrupalCon who identify as women, we know it can feel lonely when you are walking around the event, especially if this is your first DrupalCon.
