Talks

Today we are talking about the revolt event Loop, what it is, and why it matters with guest Alexander Varwijk.

Join me in exploring what Drupal could look like when it could perform tasks asynchronously and what is still needed to get us there.

Today we are talking about Drupal Architecture, Common Site Building questions, and How we solve things with Drupal with guest Alexander Varwijk.

A presentation about how my thoughts of building with Drupal have changed from building one-off websites to building products that last for years.

Drupal is accelerating but so is the rest of the web. In this talk I share my thoughts on how we can push Drupal further and how to popularize PHP.

I was asked to be part of the MC team for GraphQL Galaxy 2022.

Take a deep dive in using the GraphQL module version 4 to build a GraphQL API for your Drupal project.

In this talk I will take you through what ReScript is, how its type and module systems work and its great integration with React and GraphQL.

Today we are talking about GraphQL with Alexander Varwijk.

Take a deep dive in using the GraphQL module version 4 to build a GraphQL API for your Drupal project.

In my lightning talk at GraphQL Galaxy I explainend the tools used to extend a Drupal website with a Real-Time Chat.

On this panel I spoke about my experience with using PHP in GraphQL as part of a panel featuring other developers working with GraphQL in non-JS languages.

Alexander Varwijk from Open Social and Raymond Muilwijk (Intracto) talk with Matthijs van der Pol about the challenges of finding technical talent in todays web development market.

Practice is more difficult than theory, but theory can be difficult too. In this session I covered Open Social's ongoing project of moving from a coupled Drupal + Twig set-up to a decoupled project with React and ReasonML. What have we figured out already and what are still open questions for us?

One of Drupal 8’s leading goals was to “get off the island”. We’ve made huge strides in adopting PHP standards and including other libraries to replace custom built solutions. However, in the day-to-day live of a Drupal developer we only touch one or two programming languages. In my talk I want to continue our journey of leaving the island by showing interesting developments of other programming languages and how we can use what they’ve come up with in our own use of PHP and Javascript.

This talk takes a look outside of PHP and Javascript and explores what other programming languages have to offer. Although not all features are supported in PHP or Javascript, most concepts can be transferred.

In this meetup of local Javascript developers, I presented in front of about 30 people. In my presentation I discussed some of the new features that are available in ES6 and how you can use these with Babel.

This DrupalJam 2018 session is about the work I have done towards the Drupal 8 2.0 version of the Real-Time SEO module. The talk is aimed at Drupal developers with an intermediate understanding of Drupal core APIs (most notably the Form API, Field API and Entity API).
