Decoupling Drupal, a real world case study.

This talk will cover the highs and lows of getting a headless Drupal integration out the door.

From standing start to release and raising money for The Children's Society in 2 months, we will document the tools and approaches taken to successfully deliver a decoupled Drupal site with 3 external integrations - Mailchimp, Facebook and JustGiving (4 if you count Drupal).

Key points covered will be

• Picking a front end toolkit, why we chose Foundation for apps. 
• Not just decoupling code , but decoupling work too (prototyping and stand alone front end development).
• The benifits of an angular front end - how careful service design means agility.
• Gulp highs, gulp lows and ruby everywhere. Getting the front end tooling right (nvm, rvm and *vm).
