Event Recap
Last week Mike and I were in Denver for the 2012 North American DrupalCon. Besides discovering a great city–and having one of the best burgers I have ever had–we were able to check the pulse of the Drupal community.
An important part every DrupalCon is discovering where the community is headed. Below are the six themes I came away with from DrupalCon this year, separated by topics relevant immediately, and important topics about the future of the platform.
- Present
- Life without Views: View Modes and FieldEntityQuery
- SASS for Drupal Theming
- Separation of Concerns: The 5 layers of Drupal
- Future
- Symfony2 Components in Drupal8
- Migrate: The future of Drupal major upgrades
- Blocks Everywhere: The future of Drupal layouts
Mike has already written on the Symfony2 integration, which I link to in the list. I've written about the future of Migrate. I'm hoping to address several of the other topics in the coming weeks.
