This session is intended for the absolute Backdrop beginner. We'll introduce you to one of the fundamental building blocks of Backdrop CMS, custom content types and fields.
The views module is a powerful tool that allows site administrators to create complicated and dynamic displays of their content without writing any code or knowledge of database queries.
Backdrop is a content management system -- it gives you lots of tools that help you manage content. But where does that content come from? How do you get it into the system? How do you get it out?
An introduction to Backdrop CMS and the community that builds it
The Triplo team has been experimenting with a headless Backdrop site, just for fun.
We'd like to show folks what we've done and why we did it. We're interested in chatting with anyone else that might be interested in headless Backdrop, to exchange ideas.
We would like to discuss possible use cases for headless Backdrop? We'll talk about available tools for a headless BackdropCMS site and why we decided to roll our own.
Are you a business making some or all your income from Backdrop related services?
Are you an organisation wanting to know how you can contribute to funding the development of Backdrop modules?
Then this discussion may be for you?
Many within the Backdrop Community are businesses making their money from developing Backdrop websites.
This discussion topic is based upon a conversation that has been happening in the Drupal issue queues:

There are calls in the Drupal community to provide long term support for Drupal 7. Some folks in the Backdrop CMS community believe that in a way, Backdrop CMS could already be a long term option for Drupal 7 sites that are not able or willing to move to more recent versions of Drupal.
I recently began trying to learn more about Solr search. I found old instructions on getting Solr to work with Drupal 8 locally using Lando. After getting that working I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with Backdrop. It turns out that it isn't that different. Come learn how to setup Solr search to begin experimenting and learning more.
Recipes are a type of module that primarily adds configuration and content without necessarily adding features that your site does not already have. Examples of recipes are:
