Introducing the Free Drupal 8 Site Building Class
Drupal 8 was the biggest launch in Drupal’s history.
After 5 years of development, Drupal 8 arrived in late 2015.
Has it been a success so far? Yes. Drupal 8 is running over 100,000 sites and is already more popular than Drupal 6.
As a training company, OSTraining tries hard to support Drupal 8. We set ourselves a goal to help as many people as possible to use Drupal 8. In 2015, we launched a Kickstarter project which provided enough financing to release over 200 free videos. The training is the best available for Drupal 8, and it’s completely free.
Over 100 free videos are already available on YouTube, including “The Drupal 8 Beginner Class” which has already surpassed ½ million total views!
Now, thanks to the support of our Kickstarter backers and GlowHost, we’re able to launch the follow-up to the Drupal 8 Beginner class.
This follow-up is called The Drupal 8 Site Building Class. This class has 54 videos and is designed to help people learn how to build significantly more powerful sites with Drupal 8.
