Web Design? No – Atomic Design!

Zoom meeting room 1A: https://zoom.us/j/95037782887

As a developer, you're always thinking of ways to optimize your design principles. While complex coding and design guidelines don't always go hand-in-hand, there is a method that involves two unlikely counterparts: re-useable code and high school chemistry. Atomic Design is transforming UX design and web development by representing the user interface as an inter-connected hierarchy of components that lays the foundation for a robust design system. See a practical example of a project that was built using these principles - including components that support presenting personalized content for website visitors.
Walk away from this talk understanding how to:

- Get started with the basics of atomic design
- Re-think your approach toward UX/UI development
- Leverage atomic components, personalized content, and design systems

School's in session! Don't miss this talk.

Mastering Drupal Theming: Unleashing the Power of Components, PatternLab, and Twig Templates

"Mastering Drupal Theming: Unleashing the Power of Components, PatternLab, and Twig Templates" is a comprehensive presentation that explores the exciting world of Drupal theming. Join us as we dive into the benefits of Twig template extension and discover how PatternLab can revolutionize your development process using Atomic design principles. Learn how to extend Twig templates effortlessly with the Components module and harness the simplicity of PatternLab's BEM structure for creating reusable components. Our presentation will guide you through customizing Drupal themes with PatternLab, including overriding core and contributed module templates, organizing templates using BEM, and utilizing Twig debugging tools alongside PatternLab's component-oriented approach. We'll also share best practices for Twig and Components, covering Twig optimization techniques, preprocess functions for enhanced template customization within PatternLab, and profiling methods for optimal performance. Engage with us during the Q&A session and stay tuned for a recap of key takeaways, expressing our gratitude for your participation, and encouraging further exploration of Drupal theming with PatternLab and the Components module. Get ready to unlock the full potential of Drupal theming!

Menus: the good, the bad, and the mega

Over the years there have been many approaches to menus in Drupal. We'll discuss a few different approaches and their individual caveats with regard to manageability, usability, accessibility, and implementation. This is a topical discussion that I hope will spur more conversations to follow.
