Conference Presentations

Contributing makes good business sense, especially when open-source technology, such as Drupal, is at the core of everything you do (pun intended!). 

VIDEO: Are there familiar approaches backend developers can take when using React Hooks and creating more complex components? 

How to optimise your progressively decoupled Drupal frontend with the new Intersection Observer API.

Bug Smash is a community-run initiative tackling the growing backlog of bugs in Drupal Core. What has made it so successful? 

Watch the video to learn how our team leveraged a highly available AWS OpenSearch service fronted by React to build lightning-fast, dynamic search interfaces backed by Drupal using Search API.

As one of the longest-running and largest Drupal events in the Asia-Pacific region, DrupalSouth is an opportunity for the greater community to come together and celebrate all things Drupal. In 2019, DrupalSouth will be making its way for the first time ever to Hobart, Tasmania, under Downunder!

Since co-founding PreviousNext in 2009 with Kim Pepper, our company has put a lot of focus into supporting the Drupal open source project and community at a regional and global level.

A recurring theme in the tech industry is one of Ethics in Design. It's often a point of discussion online and was a prevalent  topic at conferences I've attended recently. There is still a lot of work to be done to make design and product teams more aware, responsible and proactive about ethical issues where technology is shaping society and defining culture.

I recently had the pleasure of presenting my session 'How Drupal Contribution leads to Success' at Drupal South Canberra 2018.

Drupal adoption is still growing, but can the contributors keep pace? In this session I looked at how organisations can really benefit from contributing to Drupal.

Last week I had the privilege of attending and speaking at my first UX Australia conference. This year it was held at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne.

UX Australia is the largest conferences in Australia for our industry — there were 850 of us running around apparently — so it was only appropriate for the keynote speakers to be industry heavy-hitters.

With big names like Steve Portigal (California), Lauren Currie (NOBL Collective) and Alan Cooper (The "Father of Visual Basic") floating around, the bar was set very high and it did not disappoint.
