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.
