SOLD OUT | Introduction to Drupal 8 Module Development

Date: Monday, April 8
Time: 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Cost: $450 $500 (Coffee and lunch included)

Module development for Drupal is more powerful than ever with Drupal 8. Object-orientation, the maturity of Drupal's various APIs, Drupal 8's new underlying Symfony (and other) components, and the emergence of Drupal Console means that developing for Drupal 8 requires some new knowledge for existing Drupal developers. This workshop is designed to introduce existing Drupal developers as well as (non-Drupal) PHP developers to some of the techniques and concepts for Drupal 8 module development. The workshop includes an overview of some of the main concepts and tools as well as several hands-on module development exercises designed to build knowledge and confidence.

This workshop has been presented at multiple DrupalCons and Drupal camps around the United States. Students will be provided with a PDF of the curriculum and access to screencasts demonstrating the main lessons of the workshop.
