This is the code repository for Mastering Drupal 8 Development [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
Drupal is one of the most popular web content management systems on the planet and offers an incredible array of features and functionality. Small non-profits and businesses to multi-billion dollar multinational companies are all using Drupal as the core of their presence on the web. This video course will take you step by step through the process of first building a fully-featured, multilingual website using only Drupal 8 core components and no custom coding. You will also learn to use the Views module (now part of core!) and other contributed modules to add a bit of customization to the site. With the “code-free” elements in place, you will take your skills to the next level and begin to develop custom modules that alter the existing functionality of other modules. You’ll also create a new functionality of your own, including providing REST web services. We’ll finish by taking a brief look at how to create a mobile-friendly theme that ensures anybody on any device can take advantage of the amazing site we’ve built.
