The days of only developers building the web are long gone. Many of our faculty, staff, and students are looking to claim their own corner of the web. Learn how to equip the folks outside of IT with the resources and skills necessary for them to build confidently with the same standards we set for ourselves. Demo of Stanford Domains included.

Drupal 8.7 will be released on May 1, 2019. As Drupal 8 continues to evolve, the content authoring experience has become amazing, especially when compared to past versions of Drupal.
Decoupling with Drupal has been a topic of much discussion in recent years. With the shift towards more projects being built for multi-channel experiences including mobile apps, wearable devices, digital signage and others, Drupal’s powerful capabilities of flexibility around structured data and editorial experience have worked hard to adapt.
We are developing our Drupal 8 contribution module, Cloud by practicing Scrum for Agile software development. I'll introduce the background story of the reason why we could successfully achieve our super-fast paced development with higher productivity.
The Agenda:
Backdrop CMS is the Drupal fork. It is a faster and less-complex version of Drupal 7 with more features you want, and fewer you don't.
This session will highlight the Backdrop Mission, it's intended audience, and it's guiding principles.
We'll explain the decision making process, introduce the Project Management Committee, and expand on how the project's direction is set by the needs of the whole community.
We'll cover topics like how we handle Security and Stability, and talk about how we're trying to decrease the cost of long-term website ownership.
Come see Backdrop CMS in action.
This session will demonstrate some of the kinds of things you can do with Backdrop core alone. We'll walk through site-building tasks that showcase some of the differences between Backdrop and Drupal, but mostly you'll see how similar the two projects are.
University Communications is currently developing a new Stanford-branded WordPress theme, Redwood, which will be available to the Stanford community later this year. Redwood will replace the Cardinal and Lagunita themes as the recommended theme for Stanford-branded websites. Redwood is built with Stanford's new pattern library, Decanter.
