The Learning Series Part 5: Drupal 8 - Let's be friends - Broward Drupal Meeting Minutes - October 12, 2016
This month Jay Epstein (@jeppy64 http://jay-epstein.com/) covered the fifth part of "The Learning Series: Drupal 8 - Let's be friends." Part 5 allowed us to continue building out the back end architecture. We jumped into Views. We learned about the concept of the master content type and its child nodes (and grandchild nodes). We learned about the importance and screaming fast performance of rendering small bits of related content in a view that begins with the master node ID as a contextual filter.
Now it's up to all of you to take the information and use it to your advantage.
