Welcome to the second Florida Drupal Virtual Meetup! This month, we are featuring a presentation by Christian Crawford on porting a module from D7 to D8. We hope everything goes smoothly but please bear with us as we work out the kinks!
EVENT INFO
Host: Jacksonville
Presenter: Christian Crawford
Topic: Porting Scanner Module from D7 to D8 (<a href=https://www.meetup.com/Jacksonville-Drupal-User-Group/events/261045342/">more info)
Topic Summary: Christian will explain the very complex undertaking that was his port of scanner module (see https://www.drupal.org/project/scanner) from D7 to D8. This will be a fantastic opportunity to see how non-trivial amount of code of high complexity should be rewritten for D8 with the right architecture.
A great way to learn how D8 approach should differ from D7 approach - for beginner as well as experienced Drupal developers.
