Content:

  • This session is for people who are new to Drupal 8 programming and would want to know about how drupal is structured and how much it inherits from Symfony.
  • This session will be a high level, conceptual, overview of Drupal 8's internals and how they're implemented. Comparisons will be made to corresponding components in Symfony.

Main topics covered:

  • How Drupal 8 retains all the features of Drupal 7 (site-building-wise) but is a complete rewrite under the hood.
  • How Drupal 8 does away with procedural programming (but not actually :P) and adopts OOP for good.
  • Why Drupal's mantra of "Proudly Found Elsewhere" is awesome and what some of those "elsewhere" projects are.
  • Brief description Drupal 8 hierarchical structure:
    • DrupalKernal and PHP components at the bottom
    • Base system (block, entity, form etc) and modules in the middle
    • Theme system and twig at top.
  • High level overview of Symfony components used in Drupal and how these components are used by DrupalKernel and Drupal base system.
