Dev Roundtable (#CADUG) - D8 Entity API
Details
This week our main focus will be Drupal 8's Entity API. We will start off with a 15 min intro covering:
• What are the 2-3 most significant differences between D7 and D8 entity systems.
• Conceptual overview of how to create an entity type and bundles (e.g. annotations).
• What is the best way to query for data (reasons for Views vs custom query).
• 1-2 "gotchas" that people may run into.
Then we'll open it up for conversation--please bring any experiences with D8 Entity API you'd like to share, tips, useful resources, or questions!
Before we wrap up discussion we want to give everyone the opportunity to ask a question about Drupal 8 in general.

Speakers Wanted!
We are looking for 1-2 speakers to come in and present formally on Drupal and tech-related topics. Please contact the organizers if you're interested in speaking at a future Dev Roundtable.
Lightning Talks
Attendees are encourage to present for 10 minutes on a topic of their choosing. Show off a recent project, get audience feedback for your next big idea, demo a cool new module, give a marketing case study or just talk about anything else Drupal related. No slides or presentation skills are required. Short yet informative talks are the goal.
Advanced Drupal Discussions
We encourage Drupalists of all levels to get together for open-ended discussions. Members are encouraged to bring their ideas, questions, and other anecdotes to the table. The meetup typically covers a myriad of advanced Drupal related topics during these informal "BoF" type sessions.
