drupal 8

Drupal 8 is in API freeze and headed for its first beta. Now is the time to start upgrading contributed modules so that they're ready the day 8.0 is released. We'll begin with a quick overview of how to start the module upgrade process, and provide some brief information about new Drupal 8 APIs, including:

We all use and love the Entity Reference module. Still, do you know what ER selection and behavior plugins are? I'll show you.

There are currently a wide selection of media management solutions for Drupal 7: media, scald, asset, mediabox and more, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. At DrupalCon Prague, the first steps were done towards a unified media solution for Drupal 8, and this session is the occasion to present our progress so far and invite more people to get involved.

The Drupal 8 core initiatives have introduced a new methodology for code development, helping to focus both contributions and contributors very effectively in the specific objectives for the release. All these initiatives, "Views in core", "Multilingual", "Configuration management", "Web services", "Blocks  & layouts" and "Mobile" have reached successfully very important milestones, all of those key for an innovative and powerful new Drupal version.

Graph databases gained a remarkable attention in the last couple of years. Their strenght is proven in many cases where relationship between data points is as important as the data itself. Suprirsing the palette of possibilities that this technology provides. The presentation intend to explain the concept of graph databases, their place in technology and business - as well as an example scenario working with Drupal, our very favorite CMS.

There will be code, mathematics, algorithms, magic and hopefully your interest :)

Drupal 8 is bringing some major improvements compared to Drupal 7, but all changes also bring their own challenges. 

In this presentation, I would like to discuss the gap between now and the first non-trivial Drupal 8 sites in production, not only regarding what modules are available, but also looking at what human processes need to be updated (training, collaboration, deployment and more). Hopefully, we can get closer to an answer to the very common question "so, when can we use Drupal 8 in production?"

 

Developers will get to know the new API, learn about the ideas behind the API design and see how the API can be used to manage your data.

Drupal 8 incorporates a Modular Authentication System. We will see how it works and how can you make the most out of it.

Drupal 8 aims to make the almost all of Drupal's underlying system multilingual while offering a toolset for modules and themes to rely on and support multilingual much easier than before.
