RL047 Chema Balsas and Emil Öberg on Themes and Frontend Development
Another Devcon conversation - make sure not to miss it next year. I grabbed Chema Balsas, Software Engineer at Liferay Spain, and Emil Öberg, Consultant at Monator Technologies, a Liferay Partner Company in Sweden. This is a three-way conversation with Chema Balsas and Emil Öberg that we had during Liferay's Devcon 2014. Chema had a Theme-Workshop (sorry, no recording) and Emil a presentation on Rapid Frontend Development, so it made sense to talk to both of them as their experience overlaps. Speaking of experience: Chema is a Software Engineer in Liferay Spain, Emil is a Consultant at Monator Technologies, a Liferay Partner Company in Sweden.
We're trying to bridge the gap and discuss visual topics, e.g. themes, in an audio format:
- the qualities of Liferay
- UX (user experience) and UX guidelines
- Building themes
- How to start new theme projects
- Emil's github repository
- The problem with people like me doing frontend design
- SASS, LESS
- New themes coming to marketplace
- Disabling Bootstrap and the future plans with it
- Best practices on editing/creating themes, how to update servers and test
- Sublime, Webstorm, Brackets
- Developing a Toolchain, ROI
- Upgrading themes to new versions of Liferay (see also Episode 38)
- and probably more topics that I forgot to add to these shownotes.
