Building an Intuitive Admin: Usability for the Forgotten End-User

Stephen Lucero
Forum One

Derek Reese
Red Hat Inc.

If you've worked on large enterprise site themes, you're probably tired of writing Twig to map in your hand-built pattern libraries to Drupal templates.

Solve the right problems to build great websites

Joe Meersman
Elevated Third

A smart programmer is not the one who fixes all the problems, but rather, the one who understands what the problems worth fixing are. When discussing quality software, everyone talks about unit tests and test-driven development, only a small piece of building good software. In this session, we'll explore validation and verification beyond software tests.

The Collaborative Content Audit

Dori Kelner
Sleight-of-Hand Studios

In a user-first world, content is the basis for ensuring great user experience. A content audit lays the groundwork for aligning organizational objectives with site visitor needs.
