[Drupal 8][0] was (finally) released on November 19th 2015, after almost 4 years
|
||
of work and code commits by over 3,200 different contributors. Whilst it’s
|
||
pretty much the same as the Drupal that we know and, hopefully, love, a lot has
|
||
changed behind the scenes and under the hood!
|
||
|
||
In this talk, I'll highlight some of the new features and improvements in Drupal
|
||
8, and discuss some of the benefits to Drupal site builders, themers, and module
|
||
developers. I'll also talk about some of the non-technical changes and the
|
||
cultural shift from "not invented here" to "proudly found elsewhere", and how we
|
||
are rejoining the PHP herd.
