Build a Drupal 8 site with cutting-edge frontend technologies

gpap

At BRAINSUM, we finally rolled out our first Drupal 8 corporate site. While we were struggling with the beta version, we learned a lot about D8 and its integration with Symfony. We did also use some cutting-edge frontend technologies to help creating the website's look and feel faster and easier.

During the session, I am going to talk about the following topics, also showing some real life examples and code too:

  1. Differences between Drupal 7 and 8 - what was it like to develop in the new system
  2. Using Twig, to enhance your templating workflow
  3. How YAML files make everything easier
  4. Debugging and dumping
  5. Grunt: compiling your SASS/SCSS coupled with Bourbon lightning fast

I will be also showcasing the site itself: http://www.gravityrd.com/
