Drupal - Blocks vs Context vs PanelsDavid Burns

This document provides an overview and comparison of different page building tools in Drupal: blocks, Context module, and Panels module. Blocks allow placing content into regions defined by a theme, while Context and Panels provide more powerful and flexible options. Context allows managing conditions and reactions for site portions, and Panels provides a drag-and-drop page builder that places content visually into layouts. Both tools are more powerful than blocks, with Panels generally being more suitable for complex or variant page layouts and Context better for developer-driven or region-based sites.

Task runners + theming automating your workflowJoshua Gilmer

Task runners like Grunt and Gulp can automate workflows like compiling, standardizing, mapping and minifying code. They can also handle tasks like linting, debugging, error handling, unit testing, live browser updating and aiding in production deployment. Using a task runner can save significant time when starting new projects by automating common setup and installation tasks in just a few seconds versus manual configuration. Common JavaScript task runners each have pros and cons for different use cases and levels of experience. It's best to leverage existing starter templates and boilerplates online rather than building workflows from scratch. Caveats include ensuring compatibility when collaborating or across different machines.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn

We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising. This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
