Drupal Dev Days Seville 2017 documentation
Just bookmarking here the amazing documentation that was produced during the Dev Days.
Development best practices learned from the Drupal Dev Days Seville 2017
Many session were oriented towards coding attitude.
It looks like we now have the time to let the technical specs of Drupal 8 a bit behind and focus on sharing developer experience.
Drupal 8 custom Google Maps and automatic geocoding with Composer, Drupal Console and Drush
The scope of this article is to illustrate the responsibilities of several tools and techniques used in the Drupal ecosystem (Composer, Drupal Console, Drush, Configuration management) to achieve quickly a simple custom Google Maps use case: an Address field will be defined on a content type.
We want the address to be geocoded automatically for each node on save to display a Google Map.
The display of the map will be achieved by a custom module to allow further extension.
Front and backend relations are getting better faster stronger and easier
Here are a plain list of modules that really gives site builders front and backend super powers and make these two categories of developers closer than ever.

Install and update Drupal 8 core and contrib modules with Composer
Some modules, like Address or Search API Solr, really needs an installation with Composer.
We should now avoid to rely on Composer Manager (deprecated) so here is a kickstart.
Alter Views sort by taxonomy weight
The use case is that we want to sort a list of users by job title, where job title is a term reference to a dedicated vocabulary.
The sort is done by the job title term weight (defined via the vocabulary list).
I choosed to apply a custom sort function on a view, instead of a custom dynamic / entity query for two reasons :
