Backdrop For Beginners

An opportunity to ask beginner questions about Backdrop CMS. We'll have a demo site ready to show how to do things and answer your questions LIVE. A perfect place to ask beginner questions about things like:

* Content Types and Fields
* Getting Started with Views
* The Backdrop CMS Layout System

BIEN - Backdrop Import Export Nodes

This module has been around for a while and serves a interesting use case. If you want to move content from one website to another, you can use BIEN to export it and import it. 

In theory, it's much easier to use that Feeds module, but also MUCH less flexible or powerful. BIEN is currently limited to some fairly simple use cases and more complex data is likely to cause problems for BIEN. 

Let's look at what the modules does now, talk about what it should do, and discuss any better alternatives that might exist (if any)?

A dragon's eye view of finding content in Backdrop

Out of the box, Backdrop CMS has Views that can have exposed filters and Search.

However, there are modules that can extend the capability of Views and Search including integration with third party solutions including AI.  The purpose of this session is to give a high level overview of the options with very brief demos.  The idea being if there is demand to dig deeper, these sessions can be added later in the unconference.
