Drupal 8 for Site Builders Workshop

This two-day workshop is intended for those familiar with basic Drupal 8 concepts and managing an existing Drupal site on a day-to-day basis.

We will dig deeper into custom content types and display modes for forms and content, use custom page layouts, and build various types of lists (views) of interrelated content.

We'll give most of our attention to Drupal core, but we'll also build simple and complex forms with the Webforms module.
Approach

Starting from a new, standard Drupal 8 installation we will build a small website together and in the process explore:

• using fields to extend entities
• entity types, content types, and block types
• interrelating content with entity references
• defining custom date formats
• defining image styles
• view modes for entities and forms
• views:
  • display types and their specific settings
  • standard, exposed, and contextual filters
  • relationships
  • building custom administration pages
• the core layout system as an alternative to field display settings
• constructing web forms with the webforms module
