Drupal for Symfony developers

Crell

One of the main advantages of Drupal 8's modernization and adoption of many Symfony components is that it is much easier for developers to jump between Drupal the CMS and Symfony the framework, using "the right tool for the job".  Much of the knowledge and conventions of one translate to the other.

But "much" is not "all", and there are still many differences between these Open Source cousins. This session will be an introduction to building with and developing for Drupal 8, assuming a Symfony background. (Hint: It involves a lot more "building" than "developing".)

What similarities can we benefit from, and what differences are there to watch out for?
