Module Development with Drupal 8 by Fig Leaf Software
Hands-on Module Development with Drupal 8 introduces the coding concepts behind Drupal 8 and prepares you to tackle feature development beyond what is available through core and contributed modules. This platform is built in PHP and utilizes Symfony components to extend its accessibility to non-Drupal programmers. If you know how to configure a Drupal 8 site, but you've found limitations with what you can do with core and contributed modules; you are part of a new Drupal 8 implementation team, or you will be taking over on-going maintenance of a site built by a third party development group - this session will help to prepare you to manage any customizations required.
