- Module directory structure for Drupal 8
- YAML (.yml) files
- PHP OOP: Classes usage
- PHP OOP: Traits, interfaces, abstract classes, classes, create, __construct

While screensharing phpStorm, this presentation will also demonstrate Drupal 8 module concepts within a new custom Drupal 8 sandbox module. 

When this presentation is complete the developer will come away with a mental roadmap of the Drupal 8 module structure, expanded knowledge of Drupal 8 module concepts, and they will have a solid perspective on what they may still need to dig into further so that they can promptly develop to Drupal 8.
