Drupal 8 Explained is Here!

Drupal 8 Explained is Here

Today, we’re delighted to launch Drupal 8 Explained.

This is the Drupal 8 version of the best-selling and best-reviewed Drupal 7 book.

Drupal 8 is an amazingly powerful system, but many newcomers can find it confusing. We wrote this book to make Drupal 8 as simple and straight-forward as possible.

Using Drupal 8 Explained, you can master Drupal 8 by using step-by-step examples.

The book walks you through a complete site-build, using a city called “Drupalville”. You start by planning the site, then you build out content types, fields and Views, before moving on to themes, modules and Site Management.

Drupal 7 Explained has been used by 10,000’s of readers, from individuals learning on their on, to students in university courses and DrupalCon classes. We hope you enjoy Drupal 8 Explained just as much.

How to Buy Drupal 8 Explained

At the moment, Drupal 8 Explained is only available to OSTraining Book Club members.

Yes, the launch is a little unusual, but I’d ask you to read this post about the OSTraining Club. With your support, we can ensure more books like this are available for our open source projects.

In the coming weeks, it will also be available from Amazon and other book-sellers.
