Many sites require the ability to upload, manage, and display various assets like files, images, videos, and audio.
Menus
TopicA site’s main navigation elements, whether they be in the header, footer, or sidebar, are composed of links built using Drupal's menu system. Drupal allows site administrators to build menus while also allowing module developers to add and alter menus in code.
Multilingual Sites
TopicA multilingual site has more than 1 language that users interact with, either through the content, the user interface, or both.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your online content, so that your content will rank higher in organic (non-paid) search engine results.
Learn about Drupal’s configuration system and how to manage configuration with both the administrative user interface and command-line tools.
Blocks
TopicA block is a reusable widget that is placed inside regions (layout containers) of your theme. Blocks can be used by site administrators on the Block layout admin page or provided by a module using the Plugin API.
Testing in Drupal
TopicDrupal includes the PHPUnit testing framework. This enables us to write unit and functional tests to attempt to minimize the number of bugs in our application.
Contributing to Drupal
TopicAs an open source project, Drupal depends on community contributions in many forms including documentation, code, translation, speaking, organizing events, mentoring others, and even donating money.
The process for keeping Drupal core and contributed modules and themes up to date with the latest security and minor version releases.
In order to run a Drupal site, the web server you are using must meet minimum technical requirements.
Docker
TopicFor the Drupal developer, Docker is a way to provide a local development environment to run web server software.
Building one Drupal site is a fair amount of work in and of itself. But what about working with multiple Drupal sites? Sometimes you have a few sites that make sense together, either from a maintenance perspective, or due to an overlap in content or users. There are a number of different ways to approach this in Drupal, and which path you follow varies considerably depending on the exact use case you need to fulfill. In this lesson we'll get a good look at the problem multiple sites can pose, and list out some common use cases. Then we'll take a look at three different broad categories of solutions, with some specific architectural approaches. The rest of this series will walk through managing multiple sites using Drupal core's built-in multisite system.
If you are interested in working with the Domain Access project instead of core multisite, you should look at the Introduction to Domain Access series.
When working with domain names and getting a website to show up in your browser, it can be a little confusing to sort out which bits of the puzzle are where. You need to be able to properly configure the domain name server (DNS) so your browser can match up a domain name with a web server, and then make sure the Apache web server knows which files to direct that incoming domain name to. In this lesson we're going to walk through the process from the browser request to the website files. We'll take a look at the Apache documentation on virtual hosts (or vhosts) and discuss where to find this configuration. Then we'll take a look at some example vhost files to see what's going on in there.

As we wrap up and review the series, we also look at other modules that work with, or depend on, Features to provide you a jumpstart.
