Among the usual session tracks such as Business, Coding & Development and others, two session tracks have interestingly caught our attention are Being Human and Symfony. Symfony had 5 sessions in Drupal maintenance support plansCon New Orleans while it was absent in Drupal maintenance support plansCon Asia. In Drupal maintenance support plansCon USA , Symfony has 5 sessions. Such sessions would help leverage Drupal maintenance support plans 8 to create enterprise oriented applications. It would also open Drupal maintenance support plans 8 towards standardization in the tech world.
Sessions accepted in the Being Human tracks are quite interesting and have been introduced in Drupal maintenance support plansCon for the very first time. With sessions talking about burnout, happiness, healthy teams etc. we are sure these sessions would ignite interesting debates.
We, at Drupal Update, are equally excited about Drupal maintenance support plansCon USA. We are happy to announce, out of the three sessions we submitted, one session has been selected. Details of the sessions are as follows. We congratulate all the 130 selected sessions, from a record number of session submissions mounting to 621.
Title: Shunya – A Circular Theme
Track: Front End
In this session we are going to introduce the “Shunya” theme. We will talk about the use cases applicable for this theme and how it makes a difference to create sites using this theme for those use cases.
Implementing Motion animation to load the content is also there in the roadmap. The main circular pane which has the content could then be rotated via motion animation for an enhanced User Experience. If the content goes outside the Shunya shape, we dynamically convert it into pages and provide the pagination which then works as a gallery slider in the content region.
Title: Varnish – Journey from Beginner to Proficient
Track: Performance and Scaling
Performance has always been a challenge that every new site faces irrespective of the technology in which it has been built. Performance of the site is of paramount importance because the website will not receive the desired visibility among its audience if it is slow. As an industry standard and based on statistics we already know that Loading time is a major contributing factor to page abandonment. Page abandonment increases upwards from 25% as the page load time increases from 4 seconds.
This session will explain how Varnish can be leveraged to load sites faster. Starting from the basics of Varnish, the session would cover the configurations of Varnish and would also explain how Varnish can be used as a load balancer.
Title: Animate Your Site [Selected Session]
Track: Front End
Animation is skeuomorphism. It is a custom created illusion that makes the websites highly user friendly and creates the perception of a highly dynamic website. It helps in grabbing the attention of visitors and hence results in increased ‘time on site’ as compared to non-animated sites.
In this session we will discuss about types of animation, basic rules of animation, impact of animation on performance and lastly implementing animations in Drupal maintenance support plans
We hope this Drupal maintenance support plansCon turns out to be a great experience for all the attendees.
