1. Presentation: 46 Rules and Techniques to Make Drupal Hella-Fast!
In this presentation, both the sysadmin and front-end developer will be walked though optimizing Drupal's page load times. We're going to talk real world techniques and methods that are used to make Drupal fly.
Topics covered will include tools, statistics, database, caching, Drupal problems, how to fix them, and front-end topics such as HTTP Requests, DOM, bandwidth and more.
2. Roundtable Discussion: Retro-Responsive, DrupalCamp Atlanta, Backdrop and more!
I have a couple things to go over including retrofitting a current desktop site with responsive css and javascript. We'll also talk about DrupalCamp Atlanta, the Backdrop fork of Drupal, and other topics
In addition, we'll have
- A [free] 20 minute Drupal beginner session/training for any newbies that attend
- A rundown of the top X Drupal modules - this is always one of our favorites
- Roundtable discussion - What have you done or learned in the last month that's worth showing off?
- A happy-hour / social event afterwards - probably at Harry's or The Top (both are within walking distance)! This'll give us a chance to nerd-talk over a beer or three :)
