Conference
20 June at Scheltema
08:30 – registration in the foyer.
09:30 –
Lodewijk “Low” Schutte, your friendly neighbourhood conference organiser,
welcomes you to the conference with some opening remarks.
09:45 –
Carl Crawley has been working online in some capacity since the mid-nineties
and with ExpressionEngine since 2006. During his talk he’s going to trawl through some of the
best (and worst) examples of EE he’s seen in his 8 years working with the platform.
10:30 – coffee break.
11:00 –
When Désirée Battjes, co-owner of Leiden-based EE shop Kees™,
started in this business, she thought that selling stuff was about bargaining,
bluffing your way in and wearing a shiny necktie. Today she knows sales is about
finding out how she can help people with things she and her colleagues love to do.
She ended up liking sales, and would like to share how you can, too.
11:45 –
In early 2011, John D Wells published an article demonstrating how to use the “partials”
technique when building an ExpressionEngine website, sparking a breakthrough in
DRY template development. He’ll dig into how partials are
accomplished in EE, discuss common use cases, pitfalls & workarounds, and debate when it’s the
right—and wrong—fit for you.
12:30 – buffet lunch provided in the Ketelhuis.
13:30 –
Add-ons are a key part of ExpressionEngine’s flexibility. Craft’s plugins provide the same breadth of options,
but how do they compare? From real, live examples, Joel Bradbury will deconstruct the highs
and lows of EE Add-on development and how those concepts map to Craft Plugin development.
14:15 –
Your client project has launched! Now what? Marrije Schaake will talk about how to
deal with Phase Two: requests for new features, the boredom of regular maintenance,
and Emergencies When You Are on Holiday. Keep your clients happy while maintaining your own sanity,
and a healthy bottom line.
15:00 – coffee break.
15:30 –
Your CMS has far more potential than simply allowing
you to manage the content on your site. Ben Croker explores the further reaches of
the CMS by demonstrating how both ExpressionEngine
and Craft can be used as platforms for user interaction and gaining critical insights.
16:15 –
Leslie Doherty will explore creativity in development, or more specifically,
in the developer community. By looking at other disciplines, we can redefine what it means to
be a developer and open up its community to a wider reach; one that includes a variety of people
and different minds, all valued for what they contribute.
17:00 – Stretch your legs while we set up the closing panel.
17:15 –
Q&A Panel, where all speakers will join in to answer your questions on
development, design, business, and the ever-changing CMS landscape.
Ask your questions via email or Twitter!
18:00 – 20:00 After-party enjoy a drink and snack in the Theatercafé.
The schedule is approximate and subject to change.
9:00 – 18:00, Theaterzaal
