Backend Development

Your next custom module won't be written by AI, at least not for a while yet. But most of it could be written by Module Builder.

This session will explain why Module Builder deserves to be among the essential tools you add to any project to speed up and smooth over your development tasks.

Module Builder simplifies your work when writing custom code. Need a route and controller? A form? A config entity type with an admin UI? A kernel test? From a few options, Module Builder creates the boilerplate for all the common Drupal coding patterns.

Because Module Builder analyses your codebase, it can generate all hooks, plugins of all types, inject any service - even those you've only just written yourself!

Speaker biography

I have lived all my life in Cáceres, a small town in western Spain. I've been dedicated to web development for more than 20 years and the last 13 years doing exclusively Drupal. I've always been linked to the open source world, but it's in Drupal where I've been more involved. I've been since 2017 in the board of the Spanish Drupal Association, collaborating with the organization of drupalcamps and contributing to the code and translations into Spanish whenever I have time.

Accessibility, User Experience & Marketing

In this session, explore the journey of Theater Basel towards achieving digital accessibility. Join us as we delve into the process of certifying their existing website for WCAG 2.1, AA conformity.

In this session, gain insights into how the project team effectively addressed accessibility challenges by dividing them into three crucial areas: conceptual, editorial, and technical. Learn how this strategic approach allowed them to take targeted actions in each area, resulting in the certification from Access for All.

Using the case study of Theater Basel, I will demonstrate the step-by-step approach to a successful certification process. Throughout the session, I will share valuable insights and useful tools that can be applied to other projects.

Key Takeaways:

Digital accessibility can be achieved without sacrificing aesthetics.
Creating an accessible website requires perseverance and commitment.
Drupal provides support for accessibility through various modules.
Adopting an accessibility perspective makes it easier to create an inclusive online experience.

Join this session to gain practical knowledge and actionable strategies for improving digital accessibility in your own projects. Discover how Theater Basel has prioritized accessibility and learn how to leverage Drupal's capabilities to ensure equal access for all users.

Innovation & The future

When you log in into a Drupal Site, by default you land on a mostly empty page which shows you how old your account is in the site. That’s not the best UX out there.

We aim to provide users with useful information and commonly used actions by default in Drupal core.

But different personas have different needs, so we had to go deep into the needs of the provided roles in the Drupal standard profile together with the Personas Initiative, but taking into account what other needs the Drupal community might have. That’s how the Dashboard initiative was born.

Dashboards will provide a better and personalized experience giving the opportunity to get at first glance information in an easily understandable format, even consisting of charts, graphs, and other visual aids.

In this session we will share with the audience the joy of our achievements, tell stories about our journey, and gather feedback about what’s next. There are ways everyone can contribute too, and we will point the audience about what’s needed to get our goal and how they can help.
