Drupal and Alexa - Interact with Drupal via voice commands admin Mon, 04/23/2018 - 09:27

Speaker

Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon. It is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, and other real-time information, such as news.

This session aims to teach attendees how to create an Alexa Skill that can interact with a Drupal Application. You will be surprised on how easy this integration is! Alexa skills are easy to create and easy to manage. This integration will be a huge step up regarding site accessibility performing actions through voice commands.

During this session I will bring my Alexa device for a live demonstration, I will show how to integrate Alexa with Drupal and use voice commands to perform actions with a Drupal application such as:

create content
retrieve content
retrieve information about a user
access site statistics

At the end of the Session the attendee will know how to create the 4 main parts of a Drupal Alexa integration:

Create an Alexa skill
Insert data into Drupal
Retrieve data from Drupal

This will give the attendees unlimited possibility of reusing the knowledge they acquired during the session to create and retrieve data via voice commands.

Drupal is a great tool for making complex websites. It also allows you to make JSON API. You can save some RAM and CPU usage by letting end user rendering the view.

I will tell you what React is (and what is not) and how to configure it using Webpack to create a powerful Single Page Application that consumes JSON provided by Drupal application.

Speaker

Chandeep Khosa

During the past 10 years I have had quite a journey with Drupal. It started in 2007 while I was at university, then I continued learning it when I graduated and became a freelancer.

Since then many things changed from being a hobbyist learner, to teaching new developers and users what I've learnt.

During this session I'll be sharing the key moments and learnings that were significant for me so that you can benefit from my learnings and save time.

I'll cover community events, meetups, camps, sprints and personal branding. I'll share some tips on freelancing & marketing yourself too.

Droopler - an approach to a project with smaller budget admin Thu, 04/19/2018 - 12:46

Speaker

Maciej Łukiański

Dries said in his keynote in Vienna that Drupal is no longer for small websites (below 50keur). We do not agree. We believe there is another way of looking at how Drupal can be used. There are so many people who need small websites or websites that need to start small but can grow. In Droptica we build a distribution (www.droopler.pl) which aims to serve to the vast market of Small to Medium websites and budgets. I will talk about what we created and why and how you can benefit from it while serving your clients.
