DrupalCon Nashville 2018: Webcomponents, Polymer and HAX: decoupling authoring for Drupal and beyond

This talk focuses on the integration of Webcomponents and Polymer within the Drupal ecosystem, stemming from the speaker's experiences with a previous Angular app built on Drupal. The session discusses the evolution of a theoretical content creation solution called HAX, which stands for Headless Authoring eXperience, and highlights successful implementations of Webcomponents in Drupal across various versions, including Drupal 6, 7, 8, Backdrop, and GravCMS. The speaker presents how the Webcomponents module enhances the integration process and demonstrates the powerful authoring capabilities of HAX, urging developers to adopt these innovative approaches to improve user experiences and remain competitive in the evolving landscape of content management systems. The presentation is intended for Drupal module developers, front-end developers, and site-builders looking to enhance their projects with modern web technologies.
