<h1>Getting Started with Drupal 8 Module Development</h1>

<li>How to build a simple module, including our own permissions and routes.</li>
<li>How to add your own controller and service classes.</li>
<li>What is the service/dependency injection container, and how do we use it?</li>
<li>How we can use tools such as PhpStorm and Drupal Console to speed up the process.</li>
</ul>
<p>What we won’t be covering:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automated testing in PHPUnit or Simpletest.</li>
