DRUPAL 8 IS ALMOST HERE!

Let's spend 4hours together installing Drupal 8, creating content, creating pages, managing users, and finding out what all the fuss is about!
Big Thanks to PANTHEON for letting anyone launch a FREE Drupal 8 site with this link: https://dashboard.pantheon.io/products/drupal8/spinup
What we'll do together:
[1] Install Drupal 8 via PANTHEON.
[2] cruise around the User Interface to familiarize ourselves with the new layout and options.
[3] Next we'll create some content and experience the NEW UI.
[4] We'll experiment with the new, fancy way that imaged are handled.
[5] We'll create some Listing Pages & Dynamic Blocks with the new VIEWS module included in Drupal Core.
[6] Manage users
[7] Some time for QnA at the end.
