Another week's Web Dev Rev started with Drupal notes:
Automatic Updates module getting release parallel alpha version for both Drupal 7 and 8- Drupal 9 will be based on Symfony 4.4 given Symfony's updated support timelines
- Symfony announces changes for standard releases
- Drupal 8 gets theme support for 401/403/404 responses
- what's your math for contributing to open source?
- Digital Services Georgia's case studies
Then, there were a handful or two of "general" notes:
- Apple will soon treat online web tracking like a security vulnerability
- survey on improving browsers' built-in element
- highlights from Git 2.23
- modern techniques for styling form elements
- do you know about animated PNG (APNG)?
- PHP in 2019
- the history and legacy of jQuery
- where did CSS named colours come from?
- improving UX on slow connections, a tip on writing alt text, and more
- roadmap for Ruffle, a Flash emulator
We ended the session by starting watching another video from the same source as last week, "A forest of designs without subthemes: Implementing Georgia.gov's front-end in Drupal 8" from Drupal GovCon 2019. We paused at approximately 27:08, and will watch the rest at the next session.
The next Web Dev Rev session will be on Friday, August 30th, in EC2 1021 at 11:00am.
