SOLD OUT - D8 & Symfony: Dive Into the Core Concepts that Make Each Fly
What magic happens between the start of a D8 request and the page being returned? How do routes and controllers fit in? Where are services useful and how are they built?
These questions are at the "foundation" of the D8 architecture and of the Symfony framework itself. In this workshop, you'll get an intro into routes, controllers, services and events: the 4 concepts that most fundamentally drive the new Drupal. With these new tricks, we'll pull apart the layers of Drupal to see how things actually work. And ultimately, we'll uncover that it's really not all that complicated.
By the end of the workshop, D8 will look a whole lot less mysterious. And as a bonus, the Symfony framework will look simple. Go forth and build something amazing!
Learning Objectives
- mastering the fundamentals of the route, controller, Response system - introduction and practical usage of events - learning to debug and understand existing events that make D8 go - understanding a "service" and the "container" so that you can leverage the many tools in D8 - create your own services - put dependency injection to work and really understand that principle - understand how the core D8 services are built - see how Composer's role fits into Drupal
Prerequisites
- Drupal 7 knowledge
- comfortable coding in PHP
- some object oriented experience
Target Audience
Drupal 7 users who have anywhere from no experience to mild experience with the new Drupal 8 concepts (routing, services, etc) will benefit most from this training. You'll start with only some (or no) knowledge of how these new pieces in Drupal 8 work, and leave feeling really confident (hopefully almost bored) with how this new stuff works and how to leverage it.
