Join #FLDC featured speaker Kat Shaw for Understanding “The Why” with Accessibility.
What is "the why" you may ask? It's knowing how and why our accessibility improvements make the web better for users with disabilities.
Understanding “The Why” with Accessibility
If you or someone you work with has ever asked you these types of questions:Why do we work to make things accessible?What's the point of making this change only to be accessible?Why can't I just make that accessibility fix later?...or anything similar, this talk is right for you.What is "the why" you may ask? It's knowing how and why our accessibility improvements make the web better for users with disabilities. It's always a good thing to understand why we do what we do to make things accessible. Let's explore how we can build empathy into our teams by showing them "the why". I'll do this with demos! We'll look at various Assistive Technologies (AT) and Adaptive Strategies to explore what it's like for users with disabilities to navigate and experience the web. Not everyone has experienced a screen reader, screen magnifier, switch device, text-to-speech, TTY (phone communication), etc., and that's our challenge. Challenge accepted!

Case study in developing a custom CKEditor 5 Link plugin
CKEditor5 is an important aspect of updating to Drupal 10. The Drupal community is actively working on porting plugins provided by contrib modules, however porting custom plugins might result is a large chunk of work. CKEditor5 has introduced a brand-new way on how to approach the plugin development. As the official documentation provides us with a few plugin examples, they don't cover all the needs which may occur on our projects. Both public and private sector companies might have a large content editors team, which makes it necessary to adhere to standardized components across the site. This presentation is based on the experience we gained from working with one of such clients.From a back-end Drupal developer's perspective, we'll dissect a custom CKEditor5 demoLink plugin. Following through the plugin's code we'll explore its components, see how they interact with each other, as well as identify tricky parts

Tighten up your Drupal code using PHPStan
Did you know Drupal core and now contributed modules (using GitLab CI) are being analyzed using PHPStan to catch bugs and improve code quality?Learn how PHPStan, a static analysis tool for PHP, can find bugs in your code that your tests and code review cannot. In this session, we will learn how to use PHPStan with the phpstan-drupal extension to perform static analysis of a Drupal codebase. The session will cover the intricacies of analyzing a codebase like Drupal's, which can have dynamic return types. And, we will explain how contributed modules can onboard to GitLab CI and how the GitLab CI templates run PHPStan.

Creating Nimble Drupal Systems: Transforming a Drupal Team in 6 Months
When a closely knit and well experienced government team build their first Drupal site and then launch it on their own hosting, they run into unforeseen yet surmountable obstacles. Come with me as we go on a journey and learn how this team improved their Drupal Systems — from the site’s user experience and tagging strategy to the automation at AWS — in only six months.This talk is suitable for people with or without Drupal experience. Even though the example is specific to a state government project, the things we learned and how we grew is applicable to Higher Ed teams as well. The talk will address:the very real challenges that result from a fast migration to a new platform on a tight timelinehow we helped the Minnesota Department of Health overcome these challengeshow we’ve started paying down technical debt by optimizing Drupal for best practiceshow strict security requirements can be your friend and that automation and speed are still possiblethe secret to achieving all of this, with every team, every timeWe hope that this talk inspires teams that may be in a similar situation to reach out and ask for help — Drupal Systems can be nimble and transformations fast.
