Enabling ambitious site builders has always been a superpower of Drupal and the introduction of Drupal Canvas has taken this to another level. This session will explore advanced site-building techniques utilizing the new Drupal Canvas module. Attendees will learn how to combine the power of Canvas with existing core modules like Views and popular contrib modules, all without writing any code!

We will demonstrate how to build a demo site that leverages Drupal's robust information architecture capabilities alongside the streamlined user experience offered by Drupal Canvas.

Attendees will learn how to:
Create dynamic landing pages
Use Canvas content templates to format structured content
Link field data inside templates to SDC and Code Component properties
Create template slots, enabling content editors to further customize content using Canvas templates.
Manage permissions to tailor the user experience of Canvas for different user groups
Build Views to showcase related content and author details inside Canvas templates.
Use Views to display lists of content formatted by Canvas templates

As Drupal Canvas is rapidly evolving, we will cover the latest site building related Canvas features at the time of DrupalCon. We will also demonstrate some of the most useful contrib modules to extend Drupal Canvas.
