Advantages and disadvantages of a monorepoIanDavidson56

A monorepo is a single repository that contains all code for a company, team, or product rather than having separate repositories. Key advantages of a monorepo include consistency across language versions, dependencies, and code style which makes upgrades and refactors easier. However, a monorepo also has disadvantages such as a more complex build process, inability to version internal libraries, and difficulty searching and managing the large codebase. While a monorepo provides benefits like easy code reuse and setup, the tradeoff is less flexibility and potential slowdowns from the large size.

Becoming A Drupal Master BuilderPhilip Norton

Becoming a drupal master builder - Given at Drupal Camp London 2016 I've been building Drupal sites for a number of years and have a broad experience building Drupal sites with various levels of complexity. I often work with other agencies to build Drupal sites or to migrate existing sites and as a result I will often see some very common mistakes and errors that shouldn't be happening. Due to Drupal's popularity I also see Drupal sites in the wild and can clearly see the same mistakes going on there as well. During this talk I'll show some basic site building tips as well as some more complex and technical strategies that will make your Drupal sites better and more maintainable. Rather than just show you what to do, I'll also be explaining why doing those things are important and how developers and their websites will benefit from them. Although I'll be mainly concentrating on Drupal 7, some of these techniques are also applicable to Drupal 8.

Embedding Linked Data Invisibly into Web Pages: Strategies and Workflows for ...National Information Standards Organization (NISO)

As described in the April NISO/DCMI webinar by Dan Brickley, schema.org is a search-engine initiative aimed at helping webmasters use structured data markup to improve the discovery and display of search results. Drupal 7 makes it easy to markup HTML pages with schema.org terms, allowing users to quickly build websites with structured data that can be understood by Google and displayed as Rich Snippets. Improved search results are only part of the story, however. Data-bearing documents become machine-processable once you find them. The subject matter, important facts, calendar events, authorship, licensing, and whatever else you might like to share become there for the taking. Sales reports, RSS feeds, industry analysis, maps, diagrams and process artifacts can now connect back to other data sets to provide linkage to context and related content. The key to this is the adoption standards for both the data model (RDF) and the means of weaving it into documents (RDFa). Drupal 7 has become the leading content platform to adopt these standards. This webinar will describe how RDFa and Drupal 7 can improve how organizations publish information and data on the Web for both internal and external consumption. It will discuss what is required to use these features and how they impact publication workflow. The talk will focus on high-level and accessible demonstrations of what is possible. Technical people should learn how to proceed while non-technical people will learn what is possible.

Drupal 7 and RDFscorlosquet
