Headless Drupal: Using advanced, modern front-end technologies with Drupal!
Details
Modern web applications are built using new cool JavaScript technologies on the front-end. But how can you use them with Drupal? And why?
In this presentation, Daniel Stout (http://danielstout.com/) (from Madison, WI) will talk about the hows and whys of "headless Drupal." A recent trend in the Drupal community, headless Drupal is a way to use Drupal as the "data engine" while bypassing much of the theme layer to serve up your site via a JavaScript web application.
In this session, we'll cover:
• What are the benefits of headless Drupal?
• What JavaScript frameworks should I consider?
• What do I need to know to get started?
• How can headless Drupal make my website better?
• Is headless Drupal the future of Drupal itself?
• and much more...
