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.
