New to object-orientated PHP, Symfony or YAML, and want to get started building modules in Drupal 8? This is the session for you!

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Where Drupal 8 modules are located, and how they are structured.
• How to build a simple module, including our own permissions and routes.
• How to add your own controller and service classes.
• What is the service/dependency injection container, and how do we use it?
• How we can use tools such as PhpStorm and Drupal Console to speed up the process.

What we won’t be covering:

• Automated testing in PHPUnit or Simpletest.
• Adding third party libraries and external dependencies via Composer.
