Add the Migrate API to your Drupal 8 toolbox

Migration is a requirement in almost every project. Drupal 8 has already made a lot of progress on including a migrate API. As of today, the focus is on migration from Drupal 6 to drupal 8 since drupal 6 will be deprecated shortly after the drupal 8 release date.
But what about migration from a legacy CMS to drupal 8? What is already available? What custom code do you need to write? And how do you do it?

In this session, I walk through my journey of migrating parts of an old FAQ site to a brand new Drupal 8 system. You will have a general overview of the Migration process, how I used the Migrate API, how to develop your custom Plugin to read from a custom datasource.

As no UI is available, knowledge of drush is a requirement to follow along. You should also have read about the new Plugin system and have a passive understanding, but handson experience is not required to follow along.
