Off with Drupal's Head!

Speakers: stevector, mglaman, rtraviss, aCyborg, nLn54rkhGdpVQr6 Track: Coding, Front End, MADCamp (Alice in Wonderland) Audience: Intermediate If you want to chop off Drupal’s head you must first determine where the neck is. That can be more difficult than playing croquet with a flamingo. Join a lively panel discussion about the varied techniques used to implement the “headless Drupal” concept. Panel members will each bring a unique perspective on the challenges of meeting the Red Queen’s demand of “Off with Drupal’s head!” • Raphael Traviss, a contributor to the RESTful module, will speak from his experience with that module in combination with Backbone and other front end tools. • Matt Glaman has written Angular apps (contribkanban.com and the Chrome extension Drupal Issue Tracking) that read from drupal.org’s relatively new read-only REST API (https://www.drupal.org/api) • Beth is a Drupal developer who has used Views to structure feeds of data to be sent to non-Drupal systems. • Ashley Cyborski is a designer who writes prototype and style guide markup outside of Drupal to then be connected to Drupal sites. • Steve Persch, a senior engineer and team lead at Palantir, will moderate the discussion and encourage audience questions.
