"The Mythical Man-month" is one of the seminal books in the field of software project management. It was written in 1975, based on experience from the 1960s. Is it even still relevant?
Turns out, it is. Technology may have changed dramatically but people have not. Managing software projects is about managing people, not bits, and creative people engaged in intellectual endeavors are notoriously hard to predict and manage (just ask my project manager).
Fortunately, many of the lessons-learned Brooks' presents are still relevant today. Some are directly applicable ("adding people to a late project makes it later") while others are valid with a little interpretation. Still, others fly in the face of conventional wisdom. What can we learn from that?
This session will present a modern overview of the ideas presented by Brooks and a look at what we can still learn from them even today. Although not Drupal specific, we will keep an eye toward Drupal and Open Source along the way.

When developing a Drupal site there is so many things that developers have to remember. Developers like all humans are error prone. Computers don't make mistakes, they don't get bored, they do what they're told. Instead of relying on error prone developers, workflows should rely on automation.

Type is the perfect entry point to get Designers thinking like Developers, Developers thinking like Designers, Cats and Dogs living together - sorry, I got carried away. We'll cover why systems make for better sites, what a type system in particular, and how to make them bulletproof, responsive and look great.

Want ads? They're relatively easy to set up on a Drupal site. I'll walk you through adding some campaigns to Google's DoubleClick for Publishers and then get the ads placed on a Drupal site.

In this session we'll explore Group, an entity based alternative to Organic Groups. We'll do a high level overview of when grouping content together makes sense and the various grouping strategies available in Drupal. Then we'll get into the architecture and strengths of Group while walking through it's interface and using it in an example involving grouping students into classes and allowing them to only create and view content for their class.

Thanks to the hard work of the core team and module developers, Drupal 8 can be excellent for SEO but, it needs some help. The search engines are constantly updating their algorithms and as Drupalers, we need to adjust our strategies accordingly.

If you aren’t using automated static analysis then time is being wasted during code review. As the art of programming has evolved, patterns have emerged that can describe code in quantitative terms. Static analysis is the task of looking for those patterns in code, whether they are for code style, complexity, or security vulnerabilities.
