Drupal 8 is about some fundamental changes in the way the platform is built: from OOP everywhere to Twig as a templating system. Amongst all these changes, one of them is the usage of the Dependency Injection design pattern. This pattern greatly improves the decoupling and the testability of your code, and it will make Drupal evolutions easier in the future.

During the talk, I'm going to introduce Dependency Injection with real-world examples and then, we are going to learn more about the Symfony Dependency Injection Container which powers Drupal 8.

Don't be afraid, big words do not necessarily mean complexity!

Validation with Symfony2 from a Drupal perspective

Click here to watch Validation with Symfony2 from a Drupal perspective

When was the last time you wrote a web application without having to validate some data or user input? Probably long ago. In fact, validation is so important that most developers take a profound validation system for granted. Maybe that also explains why few people even realize that Drupal 8 uses a completely new validation engine underneath: The tried and tested Symfony2 Validator component.

In my talk, I will show you how to use the Validator component both in regular PHP applications and in Drupal 8. You will learn how the component works internally and how a few simple mechanisms will help you to fulfill most of your validation needs - from small websites to big enterprise applications.

Twig: Friendly Curl Braces invade your Templates!

Click here to watch Twig: Friendly Curl Braces invade your Templates!

Twig! Yep, it's that fancy magic that's supposed to make theming in Drupal 8 as much fun as eating beef brisket at Rudy's Country Store in Austin (apologies to my veggie friends!). And in fact, Twig was *born* for this: a language that was created with one job in mind: making writing templates awesome and powerful. Oh, and to make you love using it.

In this talk, we'll learn about Twig from the ground-up: syntax, filters, inheritance and other tricks you can learn now to be ready for Drupal 8. We'll also look at how Twig looks inside Drupal, and how it compares to what you're used to in Drupal 7.

By the end, you'll know everything to start getting your Drupal 8 theme on and be shouting its praises from the hills! Ok, maybe not that last part (but I do love how excited Drupalers get), but you'll definitely have a new friend in your world: Twig.

Click here to watch Drupal, meet Assetic

Drupal 8 leverages Assetic for managing Javascript and CSS assets. This library abstracts the headaches of integrating with the burgeoning universe of asset pre-processors and optimization tools available to the modern developer.

The lead developer of Assetic will give a tour of the library and discuss the current state of the project, its strengths, and its weaknesses, and also touch on the future: Assetic 2.0.

Click here to watch Routing: From Symfony via CMF to Drupal

The routing component of Symfony is one of the most widespread components with many adoptions and adjustments for different use-cases.
In this session you will learn how to use the versatile routing features in different contexts such as the Symfony CMF and Drupal. I will also explain some implementation details, so you understand how the controller is determined based on the request internally.
