5. Purpose If you're new to Drupal, go and try it If you've used it before, re-try it
7. About Drupal Drupal is an open source, PHP content management system 16 years old Drupal 8 was released in November 2015 Non-BC changes between major versions Mostly procedural code prior to D8 Drupalisms
8. Entities(ish) Everything uses s t d C l a s s No consistency between models
9. Hooks / / h e l l o . m o d u l e / * * * I m p l e m e n t s h o o k _ m e n u ( ) * / f u n c t i o n h e l l o _ m e n u ( ) { $ i t e m s [ ' h e l l o - w o r l d ' ] = a r r a y ( . . . ) ; r e t u r n $ i t e m s ; }
10. Theme functions $ i t e m s [ l ( ' F o o ' , ' f o o ' ) , l ( ' B a r ' , ' b a r ' ) , ] ; r e t u r n t h e m e ( ' i t e m _ l i s t ' , [ ' i t e m s ' = > $ i t e m s ] ) ; < u l c l a s s = " i t e m - l i s t " > < l i > < a h r e f = " f o o " > F o o < / a > < / l i > < l i > < a h r e f = " b a r " > B a r < / a > < / l i > < / u l >

14. Symfony Core developed using Symfony components Minimum PHP version requirement PHP code in classes No more functions (almost) Namespaces PSR-0 PSR-4 Autoloading Dependency injection Full test coverage Consistency!
15. Symfony components ClassLoader Console CssSelector DependencyInjection EventDispatcher HttpFoundation HttpKernel Process Routing Serializer Translation Validator Yaml http://symfony.com/projects/drupal
16. YAML example.info (D7) n a m e = E x a m p l e c o r e = 7 . x p a c k a g e = C u s t o m d e p e n d e n c i e s [ ] = e n t i t y f i l e s [ ] = a . i n c f i l e s [ ] = b . i n c example.info.yml (D8) n a m e : E x a m p l e t y p e : m o d u l e c o r e : 8 . x p a c k a g e : C u s t o m d e p e n d e n c i e s : - e n t i t y
17. Routing (D7) hello.module f u n c t i o n h e l l o _ m e n u ( ) { $ i t e m s [ ' h e l l o - w o r l d ' ] = [ ' t i t l e ' = > ' H e l l o , P H P S C ' , ' p a g e c a l l b a c k ' = > ' h e l l o _ p a g e _ c a l l b a c k ' , ' a c c e s s a r g u m e n t s ' = > [ ' a c c e s s c o n t e n t ' ] , ] ; r e t u r n $ i t e m s ; }
18. Routing (D8) hello.routing.yml h e l l o . v i e w : p a t h : / h e l l o - w o r l d d e f a u l t s : _ t i t l e : ' H e l l o , P H P S C ' _ c o n t r o l l e r : ' \ D r u p a l \ h e l l o \ C o n t r o l l e r \ P a g e C o n t r o l l e r : : h e l l o V i e w '
19. Annotations Used in some places - e.g. plugin system
20. Twig Default theme engine in D8 Replaces phptemplate No more database queries in templates No more theme functions
21. Not Invented Here
22. Not Invented Here
23. Proudly found elsewhere jQuery * Symfony Symfony CMF CKEditor Zend Composer Stack Guzzle Twig PhpUnit http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/tree/core/composer.json
24. Composer Drupal 8 using Composer for dependency management and autoloading Better Composer support since 8.1 Composer integration on Drupal.org Drupal Composer projectroject template Project template Drupal Packagist
25. Drupal via Composer " r e p o s i t o r i e s " : [ { " t y p e " : " c o m p o s e r " , " u r l " : " h t t p s : / / p a c k a g e s . d r u p a l . o r g / 8 " } ] , r e q u i r e : { " d r u p a l / c o r e " : " ~ 8 . 0 " } , . . . https://github.com/platformsh/platformsh-example-drupal/blob/8.x/composer.json
26. Contrib - Symfony WebPro ler Bundle as a Drupal 8 module - adds a GUI for Composer dependencies - PSR-4 support for Drupal 7 Web Pro ler Composer Manager xautoload
27. Libraries rst Non-Drupal problems being xed outside of Drupal Framework agnostic PHP libraries Better exposure Production tested code Allows for backports
28. Libraries rst
29. Libraries First
30. Drupal Console A CLI tool for generating Drupal code and interacting with Drupal 8 websites Based on Symfony Console component PSR-2 coding style, outputs Drupal code style http://drupalconsole.com
32. Going forward Semantic versioning Feature releases every 6 months https://www.drupal.org/core/release-cycle-overview
33. More to do? Still some Drupalisms PSR-2 GitHub/Packagist Drupal CI
34. In Summary Lowered the barrier to entry for PHP Developers Made me a better Developer More transferable knowledge and skills Changed perspective
