I will give you an idea of what Redis is, what it does, and why you might want to use it. Redis is an in-memory data structure store, supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets. With a small set of API functions, is easy to learn. It can be used for a wide range of problems, not only for caching. Let start exploring a simple real use case: how the Joomla cache take advantages from Redis. Can be done more, some other use cases: sessions and statistics.

Do you know that if you have a picture of a duck having it face left or right can increase your conversions by 40%?

Think this sounds silly? It is, but backed by research. Spend some time to learn about what a/b testing is, what things to test, testing methodology and the best tools to use for your Joomla site.

Everyone will get a handout of the very same checklist I use when A/B testing our clients sites. One of our clients, an insurance company, increased leads by making just a small 2px change.

Want YOUR site to be tested live? Please tweet me your URL @MPMIKE with the hashtag #TESTME. Selected sites will get live feedback and examples.

Back in 2005 I managed a Mambo website, when Joomla was born. Since then I've been using the CMS and participating in the community at different levels. After more than 10 years, I've been able to experience how it feels to use Joomla on a daily basis from different perspectives, from a total newbie to a site integrator with a few years of experience. I've also been able to live in first person how different it is to be a "regular" community member from being a volunteer that holds a position in a specific area of the project, or even in a leadership position. In this sessions I'll try to share the most important things I've learnt and felt over these years, so others can learn from this experience and, hopefully, avoid the mistakes I made...

In times long ago, every worthwhile PC game had a demo version - a limited piece of the content so that people could check out the content, gameplay and so on. Programs like office suites and so on followed suit. The gaming industry has a long tradition of free demos and free trials, and it is no less important and fair to provide them in our field - with free trials of extensions, support services and hosting services.

CloudAccess.net has been providing a Free Trial program for 6 years now - first as the host of the official Joomla! Demo at http://demo.joomla.org and now with its own Free Site program. I have been with the company through all these years and would like to share my experiences with it - why I believe that a free trial is important, what are the advantages of it and what are the pitfalls of it and, as usual, share the "support guy side" view of it all.

We often have hard times to succeed in our Joomla projects. Requirements cannot be fully collected at the beginning of the development cycle, making it hard to estimate and succeed.

Scrum, Behaviour Driven Development are, in between others, fashion terms in IT world nowadays. Many of these Agile ways of building software can help us to be successful, improving areas like: requirements, design, modelling, coding, project management, quality, etc.

During this presentation you will be part of a fictitious development team ready to assume changes in the specifications. As a group, we will have to self-organize by putting in practise several Agile techniques with the goal of driving a Joomla project to succeed.

JavaScript is innovating at an astronomical rate, from the latest libraries such as React.js to the release of ECMAScript 6 (ES6), it has never held a more important place in web development.

This talk aims to expose where we came from and where we are with Joomla's current JavaScript code. We then walk through a proposed solution, using a Flux architecture, for handling application state and messaging across components modules and plugins. Along the way we will explore some of the new ES6 features such as module loading and arrow functions.
