DrupalSouth Canberra 2018
Back in 2007, the very first iPhone was released, the last Harry Potter book was published, and Britney Spears had an extra tough year. Drupal 5 also shipped with jQuery!
Over ten years later, not much has changed with Drupal's JavaScript architecture, but in the meantime the way we build websites has shifted hugely and, as a consequence, Drupal's role has shifted too.
Roughly a year ago, an initiative was started to take a more modern approach to JavaScript, including adopting React. This session will look at the initiative's progress on a decoupled administration application to deliver a new content editor experience, as well as discuss some of the hard problems we're facing around the fundamental purpose of Drupal.
This keynote session is sponsored by OPC it.
