Over the past year, Last Call Media has been working with the development team at Massachusetts Digital Services on improving the stability and performance of the mass.gov platform.  One phase of this journey was to realize some massive performance gains on both the front and the back end of the site.  In the first part of this session, we’ll talk about the backend performance, discussing:

In fact, you might be surprised at the information you can learn about your users with nothing more than Google Analytics.

Come see Backdrop CMS in action.

This session will demonstrate some of the kinds of things you can do with Backdrop core alone. We'll walk through site-building tasks that showcase some of the differences between Backdrop and Drupal, but mostly you'll see how similar the two projects are.
