8 Things to Know About Drupal 8

The Drupal community is embracing a broader technology ecosystem in Drupal 8. Building sites, writing modules, and architecting solutions with Drupal 8 are going to see changes along the same lines. Let's talk about some of the things that are changing in Drupal 8, understand why, and start thinking about what we should be learning as we approach a Drupal 8 release.

This session is a lightweight, developer-focused session designed to get developers and site builders talking about and imagining building and coding with Drupal 8.

In this session we'll discuss:

  • The story with D8 and Symfony
