Time has almost come! The yearly Europe DrupalCon will start on September 21nth 2015 in Barcelona. It will be my fist time on a DrupaCon even if I am working with Drupal for 7 years now. Don't ask me why, there are no excuses.
As a frontend developer and a freelancer it was too hard for me to select the sessions to attend. DrupalCon hosts the best of the best talks for Drupal out there and the benefits for Drupal *ers is enormous. Sessions will be recorded but live sessions are these that matter.
So, after a deep review on each session I decided to attend sessions that are dealing with the keywords below (notice that order matters):
- DevOps
- CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Development)
- Drupal 8 plug system
- Headless Drupal
- Testing
I am sure that with some sessions (eg these related with Docker or AngularJS) there will be a "crowding". Remember that. It happens everywhere, from local meetups to large events. Docker, Headless and Devops are here to stay and will bother us for years. Thankfully Drupal with the new 8.x version is "up to date" with the new technologies and methods and the DrupalCon shows that movement clearly.
Here is My Schedule (I know that there are duplicates or even triplicates but I will decide last minute. Maybe after asking other attendees...)
