Hans-Helge Bürger

As developer we can get excited about a new project idea and immediately we start coding and hacking to get a first alpha version ready. But in most cases our initial implementation idea is by far neither the best nor the fastest to implement. In this lightning talk I want to show you one example, where I exploit another plugin to accomplish my task and it saved me a lot of time.

Bernhard Kau

As a plugin developer, you should write code that plays well with other plugins.

In this lightning talk I would like to give you some tips on how to do it right in your plugins, which can also decrease the number of service requests.
