In 2015, we released a series called What's New In Drupal 8, which gives an overview of the different things that have changed in the upcoming version of Drupal. We've added a "Notify me" button to these particular lessons so members can get added to a notification list for that topic.

PHP developers are pretty darn excited because Drupal 8 has a new object-oriented framework with some Symfony components. Are you ready to learn how to leverage these Symfony components in your Drupal 8 module? Then check out this new set of tutorials from our friends at KnpUniversity: Module Development Essentials.

Today, we're excited to release a new series of Drupal 8 tutorials on Configuration Management. In this series of tutorials—containing both written tutorials and video walk-throughs—you'll learn all about the new configuration system in Drupal. This series has something for both site administrators and module developers. As a site administrator, you'll learn how to use tools within the administrative UI to manage your site's configuration. And for module developers, you'll learn how to leverage the configuration system in a custom module and integrate configuration management into your development workflow.

With the release of Drupal 8 comes a new way of making web requests, available via the Drupal::httpClient. This is simply a wrapper for the wonderful Guzzle HTTP Client. In this post, we'll take a look at how we can use the Drupal::httpClient class for making HTTP requests in a module.

It’s that time again! Here’s an overview of our recent accomplishments and important updates.

Two weeks ago I read an article that came up in my Twitter stream, titled Canary in the Code Mine. It is the story of a company, BitSource, located in Pikesville, Kentucky, that is trying to find a new way forward in the tech world for coal miners who are being laid off in droves. They couldn't do what they are aiming for if it wasn't for open source.

Drupalize.Me is celebrating 5 years this week, so naturally we're also reflecting on the past, present, and future of our business.

In this Drupalize.Me interview, we talk with Jon Peck and David Diers, two engineers from Four Kitchens, about their Drupal experience. This interview is part of an ongoing series where we talk with a variety of people in the Drupal community about the work they do. Each interview focuses on a particular Drupal role, and this interview with Four Kitchens focuses on the developer role.

Today we released a new series, Decoupled Drupal. This series walks through the basic considerations and planning that goes into deciding whether or not a decoupled approach is right for you.

We're introducing a new way of presenting educational material on our site that allows for more flexibility in the types of content we include and how we present it. Read more to find out about our new tutorials and what you can expect to see as we begin rolling out our Drupal 8 content.

The Hour of Code (https://hourofcode.com) is coming up again soon during December 7-13. What is this, you ask? It is an event that provides a one-hour introduction to computer science to people around the world.

It's finally here! Drupal 8.0.0 was just released, and our team is busy producing new tutorials.
