Drupal is one of the most popular platforms to develop websites. With more and more organizations looking to build engaging digital experience for their stakeholders, the Drupal Content Management System offers a mobile-first platform with native support for integrations, better performance, and scalability. The new version brings significant changes to its module development and theme creation techniques, improving performance and refining the development experience.

What details do you cover in this course?

Drupal 8 brings a lot of groundbreaking changes to its ecosystem, from basic architectural changes to functional ones. Understanding these changes is vital to you if you are trying to explore Drupal 8.

In this course, you?will get a practical knowledge of Drupal 8, that means we can jump into any existing Drupal 8 website and understand how it is built and how it is put together. Finally, we will learn to launch a Drupal 8 website.

You’ll start off by setting up your development environment, enabling you to begin writing custom code for a Drupal-powered website through PhpStorm.

You will learn about configuration management and creating custom content types before exploring the HTML5 features included. Views were used on more than 80% of all Drupal 7 sites; now they are part of the Drupal 8 core. If you use views, you might build 10 different view displays with different filters, without knowing that a contextual filter would require only a single display.

You’ll see how to create reusable templates using PHP scripting and use plugins and develop simple plugins on your own.

Towards the end of this course, you’ll find out how to test, deploy, and monitor your application effectively.

To summarize, we begin with exploring new features in Drupal 8and understand the building blocks to create a website. We then create our own custom themes, deploy and maintain a website.

We then move on to learn about the updates and reports of building a Drupal website as things get outdated and security releases come out often.

Finally we build a simple blogging website.
