Nearly Headless Drupal

There are some things Drupal is great at, and some things it is, well, less great at. With years of hard work, Drupal has become a very strong content manager; you can build robust data models, easily enable content revisioning, and build out a publishing workflow complex enough for even the strictest of editorial standards.

However, even the blistering speed of development on Drupal 8 appears glacial when compared with the rate of invention on the front-end of web development. In this session we will take a look at how you can build small custom modules to leverage the content management strengths of Drupal while taking advantage of the latest advances in front-end technologies to build more interactivity into a Drupal website with minimal effort and maximum portability.
