In detail

Mathieu has been speaking to people about the future of Drupal Theming for quite some time. His presentation at DrupalCamp Baltics 2019 is focused on the concept as he wanted to explain the idea that made him move forward. Still, the questions he receives show the need to speak about the technical side in more detail.

So he is offering a program for 8 hours intense pace workshop, from which the attendees can pick what interests them most. There also will be a collective choice of going practical or staying technical on each topic. Before the workshop, Mathieu will send out a questionnaire to all workshop attendees, what their preferred topics are, so he can customize it towards the audience.

  • Setting up Compony
