Drupal frontend devs, have you ever experienced frustration with Drupal's theming layer? Have you fought epic battles with theme functions or render arrays just to get that one snippet of crucial markup how you need it? Does template.php make you want to cry in a corner?

Jay Mallison and Mike Katsufrakis from Live Axle will tell us all about their adventures in creating a #NearlyHeadlessDrupal site where they are decoupling Drupal's excellent content management abilities from it's less-than-ideal frontend using JSON output and Angular.js.

Chris Bloom (illepic) will show us Atomic Design/Pattern Lab, along with why and how to use it. For a preview, see his blog post on the topic. Bring your laptop - you're gonna want to follow along!

The Drupal Front End Meetup happens every third Thursday at the Squishymedia offices on 116 NE 6th Ave, 3rd floor at 6pm. This group is focused on the theming and design aspects of Drupal development. Come nerd out with us over CSS, Javascript, theme functions and other interesting front-end tools.

After a few super nerdy meetups, this month we will return to the aesthetics end of our front-end spectrum and talk a bit about typography and web fonts.

This will include:

• How to choose good typography, appropriate to your usecase
• Font resources
• Icon fonts + Sass

...and likely more. Speaking of, if you have any tips, experiences, or resources that you think others might find useful, get in touch with me (Mindewen).

The format is going to be several shorter presentations / walk-throughs, 5-15 minutes long. Bring your laptop so you can play along!
