The Learning Series: Drupal 8 - Let's be friends Part 6

Part 5 allowed us to continue building out the back end architecture. Is it 100% perfect and launch ready? In my eyes, not even close. But we will have a closer look at this to see if we really are MVP launch ready.

We jumped into Views. We learned about the concept of the master content type and its child nodes (and grandchild nodes). We learned about the importance and screaming fast performance of rendering small bits of related content in a view that begins with the master node ID as a contextual filter.

Part 5 was the final chapter in back end site building with Relativity. I did my best to literally give you everything you could need to be successful with Relativity from the smallest of sites all the way up to enterprise. Now it's up to all of you to take the information and use it to your advantage.

The upcoming Part 6 (and final Relativity instruction meetup) will be a beginners walk through on Theming Drupal 8 for the Site Builder. We will be using Adaptive Theme and the AT Tools module for Drupal 8. I recommend you check both of these out prior to the meetup.

Starting in 2017, Hector and I both hope that our members will volunteer to teach at our meetups. We already have a member willing to do a full meetup on Drupal Project Management which I personally am looking forward to a lot.
