In this lesson we're going to write our first custom data migration and start importing some of the player data in to Drupal. The primary concepts covered in this lesson are the creation of a migration class following the pattern necessary for Migrate module to be able to discover our code and then dealing with defining source and destination objects so that the Migrate module will know where to read data from and where to write data to. Finally we'll add a simple single field mapping where we map the player's name to the node.title field allowing us to run the migration for the first time and import some real data.
