How I became convinced that content needs to be nothing but an API.


Headless CMS, API-first, Content Infrastructure - there are many words to describe a growing trend in the industry of seeing content as just another service. In such an architecture the storage, management and delivery of content all happen in different applications, connected by APIs. Content Management becomes a service, not a platform to build upon.

This marks a complete a shift from the way a traditional, web-focused, CMS like Joomla!, Drupal or WordPress works. In this talk, Rouven, a Contentful Developer Evangelist and former Joomla! core contributor, will explore what such an architecture looks like, why it’s so compelling for developers and how he thinks it’ll change the Content Management landscape.

As a Joomla user, you have no security insight, not for the bots that scan your application, nor for tageted attacks. What if you could get a Slack / Glip message the moment you are attacked - and block him immediately?

During this talk, we show how to setup Joomla with a Security Plugin that monitors your installation against attackers. Next to that, you can filter out the tools and only be alerted on severe attacks. With the open source tools that are presented, you are then able to block the attacker from your infrastructure, for example using CloudFlare.

This will be a demo-based talk.

Have you noticed that these days every brand has a story and every designer is a "storyteller"?
Storytelling is the buzzword of our days. From marketing experts to motivational speakers, everyone tries to entertain and engage people with a story they want to share, retell, or participate in.

What it may look as a new trend, actually is as old as the humankind: storytelling is the primary way we absorb, manage, store, access and communicate information, as well as connect with others.
In a world overloaded of messages and products, the interest in this discipline has grown fast and stories are seen as a way to engage in some sort of decision-making or action in order to create a resolution.

However, building a powerful and memorable story on the web is not easy: it is no about how a medium can help you to communicate your stories but it is about how you can incorporate storytelling in your medium in order to communicate your messages more effectively.

In this talk, following the three-act structure that Aristotle came up with over two thousand years ago (beginning, middle and end), I will introduce some important elements that all stories have – characters, plot, action, emotion – and how we can connect them to leverage all aspects of web design into one beautiful visual story that compels your users to continue scrolling down their pages!

We carry out occasional development work on the Joomla sites for a variety of clients. To simplify the development workflow over the past year we made extensive usage of the Akeeba Unite CLI - embedded within a dedicated Joomla instance - to enable the rapid creation and re-deployment of off-site dev sites. We would like to present this tool and talk about the process of creating it, etc. This tool:
- allows us to develop entirely offsite- saves us a great deal of time in site creation, etc.- allows us to temporarily 'freeze' the live site during development- allows multiple developers to maintain an overview of who is working on what- allows us to select/deploy Akeeba backups from Amazon S3

Start with separation of content and form: doing this helps addressing content fragmentation and surviving the content apocalypse (the multitude of devices that you need to push your content to).
Build an API before anything else: your API is connecting the dots, transforming unstructured to structured content
BYOF - Bring your own frontend: build a set of frontend tools that take care of the presentation layer (your web application)
Use Frontender to manage your presentation layer. This Electron desktop app allows content managers to manipulate frontend containers, adapt and create new landing pages and control URL routing
