This week our main focus will be Drupal 8's Entity API. We will start off with a 15 min intro covering:

• What are the 2-3 most significant differences between D7 and D8 entity systems.
• Conceptual overview of how to create an entity type and bundles (e.g. annotations)
• What is the best way to query for data (reasons for Views vs custom query).
• 1-2 "gotchas" that people may run into.

Then we'll open it up for conversation--please bring any experiences with D8 Entity API you'd like to share, tips, useful resources, or questions!

Before we wrap up discussion we want to give everyone the opportunity to ask a question about Drupal 8 in general.
