JAnez Urevc
I am a Drupal developer from Slovenia, EU. I really love things I do, which means every day is the best day of my life (almost:)). I've been dedicated to open source since high school and I hope I'll always have possibility to work full time with it. I have graduated in software development on Faculty of computer and information sciences at University of Ljubljana (June 2012). The topic of my bachelor thesis was implementation of Scrum methodology in a web development department of a bigger media company. My bachelor disertation is available online (in Slovenian).
Besides Drupal I'm also passionate about almost everything connected to web, open source, Linux and SW development. I was participating Google Summer of code 2011 and I was mentor in 2012. I am currently working at Examiner.com. In past I worked for Delo, Slovenia's biggest daily newspaper, where I developed sites based on Drupal.
Drupal 8 will introduce a lot of relatively big conceptual changes which will significant influence to developer’s every day work. One of new systems that Drupal 8 brings are Plugins.
In the session we’re going to explain basic idea and concepts behind plugins. We will see which types of plugins are present in Drupal 8 and which parts of Drupal 7 were converted to them. We are going to tell why comments do matter in Drupal 8 and what are Annotations.
We will also learn how to develop our cusotm plugins by converting some Drupal 7 code to Drupal 8 plugin. Session objectives:
- explain basic concepts behind plugins
- list reasons for introduction of plugins
- give some code examples
- list types of plugins
- learn to write custom plugins
