- 4. Trainings - The mighty “Why?” • Personal Growth, long term plan and value • Adopt new technologies, practices, policies early. • Stay Relevant in a fast changing tech world.
- 6. What’s different this time? • Consolidate all fragments of trainings going on right now into one. • Standardise the bare minimums. (PPT, Documentation, Exercises & Assets) • A standard structure, making it repeatable, trackable, and person independent.
- 8. Introduction to Drupal 8 Aditya Ghan
- 9. Agenda • Drupal 8 Overview • Drupal 8 for Developers • Drupal 8 for Site Builders • Drupal 8 for Mobile

- 15. Drupal 8 for Developers
- 16. Understanding Drupal releases • Always use a recommended release when starting a project. • Current Release is 8.2.5 • A new minor release would be made every 6 months (Drupal 8.0.x, 8.1.x, 8.2.x, and so on) • Each Minor release will have some experimental modules for developers to test and give feedbacks
- 17. Understanding Drupal releases • Each minor release has minor updates within it (8.2.5 to 8.2.6 etc) • Guide to update Drupal 8 core: https:// www.drupal.org/docs/8/update/update- procedure-in-drupal-8 • Exercise caution when updating from one minor release to another (Eg: 8.1.x to 8.2.x)

- 20. • The leading PHP framework to create websites and web applications. • Drupal 8 uses many Symfony components such as HttpFoundation, HttpKernel, Routing, EventDispatcher
- 21. • YAML is a human friendly data serialisation standard for all languages. • Drupal uses YAML to store lists and data where computations are not needed • YAML is used to define Info files, routes, services etc
- 22. • Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. • It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/ update) them for you.
- 23. • composer install • composer update • composer.json • vendor
- 24. • “Twig” is a fast, secure, flexible template engine for PHP applications. • Twig has it’s own syntax for writing templates. Finally, the twig template is converted into PHP templates. • https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/ theming/twig/comparison-of- phptemplate-and-twig- theming-paradigms
- 26. Dependency Injection • Makes sense in Object Oriented Programming • It’s a design pattern for efficient injection of services in your code.
- 27. Dependency Injection • “If an object A depends on the object of type B, the object A won’t explicitly instantiate the object B but rather will get it injected from the operational environment”
- 28. Dependency Injection Class A Class B Uses Class A Object Class B is dependent on an object of Class A
- 29. Dependency Injection Using NEW Keyword Dependency Injection
- 30. • Drupal follows PSR-4 standards • It’s a system where we define PHP classes in a specific way so we could autoload them efficiently when required. • Demo Namespaces and Autoloading
- 32. Namespace Mapping Level Namespace Path Vendor Drupal drupal_root Module Drupalmodule_name drupal_root/module_name/ src Sub Folder Drupalmodule_namefolder_ name drupal_root/module_name/ src/folder_name

- 36. • Web services in core! • Views + REST Export = Cool Combination. • Demo Web Services
- 37. • Multilingual First • Multilingual configuration is easy and requires less modules • Everything is translatable! (Content, Blocks, Views, Menus, Fields) • Transliteration support (for special characters) • Demo Multilingual Support

- 50. Moving Forward • Target one training of your practice every month. • A lead for every practice we run. • Find a speaker, give him at least 1 month’s notice to prep. • Monthly meeting of the leads, reporting directly to Engineering Manager & Delivery Head.
- 51. What’s next? • Drupal 8 Module Development • Drupal 8 Theming • Upgrading D7 modules to D8 • Symfony • Anything else?
- 52. Who and When? • Volunteer for an training! • Showcase your talent! • Improve your communication skills! • Be ready for Drupalcamps and Drupalcons! • Anything else?
- 53. Thank you!
