DRUPAL 8.0WHENIT’SREADY
I work in an agile way and need to seamlessly deliver site build solutions - which could be over a week or several months
I need strong technical details and information to enable me to code with minimal disruption
I want to easily structure and extend content at a development level
My open source content management system (CMS) of choice needs to be compatible with existing tools, services and practices
I need to be able to analyze a problem, and quickly build a solution
I need tools I can easily snap together
It’s really hard to use third party code
There is unnecessary tight coupling between back end and front end logic with Drupal
It’s frustrating when I have to tell a stakeholder that what they want is going to be tricky to deliver
Doing things “the right way” is hard. It takes time to write good code. I need to build and launch solutions fast
Deployment is difficult. There is to much manual work to move my code to production
Drupal 8 has fewer barriers. This means you can do exactly what you need to do: build great sites
One of Drupal 8’s features is Views: it enables you to create lists, posts, galleries, tables, maps, graphs, menu items, blocks, reports, forum posts… and more!
As a Site Builder, you can carry out a range of tasks with Drupal 8 - including customizing the frontpage and listing blocks
Drupal 8 is mobile and fully responsive - so you can build beautiful sites for every device
Drupal 8 uses the new Rest and Serialization APIs, which means you’ll be able to output serialized data as JSON and XML almost as easily as with normal HTML output
With configuration management, Drupal 8 makes it easy to test your site, then push it to a production server
Get ‘API’ with #Drupal8 - output serialized data as JSON and XML
Seeing is believing: #Drupal8 is mobile and fully responsive outof the box
Enjoy the sights with #Drupal8 Views in core
We’ve dropped the barriers so you can get on and build great sites with #Drupal8

THE DRUPAL 8 TIMELINE
Drupal : Something for everyone to love
EASY CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
• Site configuration info is stored in library directory• Simpler to transport configuration changes
WHAT IS OPEN SOURCE?
The defining principle of open source is that you can sell the services and products created with the software, but not the software itself. So zero licensing costs!
WHAT IS DRUPAL?
Drupal is open source software maintained and developed by a community of hundreds of thousands of users and developers. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (or “GPL”), which means anyone is free to download it and share it with others.
WHAT MAKES DRUPAL GREAT?
Put simply, it’s the community: hundreds of thousands of people working on developing and maintaining the Drupal platform and contributed software - every second of every day. This makes for an incredibly powerful cutting-edge content management system (CMS). But it’s not just us that thinks that - there are over 1 million sites built with Drupal. And that number grows every day.
WHAT IS DRUPAL 8?
Drupal 8 is the latest release on the Drupal journey - one that will take your site to a whole new level. It will set a new standard for ease of use, and has new ways to tailor and deploy your content - which will look great on any device. We’ve built it with you in mind, which is why there’s something for everyone to love in Drupal 8.
Key benefits of Drupal 8 for Site Builders:
