The Backend Development track focuses on developers' techniques, tools, and mindsets to achieve success from simple apps to complex performant scaling apps. We are open to sessions in any language or framework. Here is a non-exhaustive list: Backdrop, Drupal, Go, Javascript/NodeJS, Laravel, Joomla, WordPress, Python, Ruby, Database Architecture.

Sessions might cover topics like:

  • Improve your tools:
    • Master your IDE/editor
    • Git for beginners
    • Git for masters 
  • App/Site Architecture ~ setting up data models for success
  • Worker queues and non-blocking processes
  • PHP for Beginners (or any language)
  • Write your first Drupal Module! (or first anything)
  • High Traffic Apps ~ Performance Optimizations

These are just a few example topics that we think would be great. If you have other ideas to present on Backend app/site development by all means submit them!
