A journey into the new Drupal 8 Layout Builder

Aaron McHale, Website Technical Coordinator at the University of Edinburgh, Department for Social Responsibility and Sustainability, will demonstrate how he and his colleagues are using Drupal 8 and Layout Builder to build an interactive and engaging online training course at the University focused on how to be more sustainable.

In this talk we will see how Layout Builder will revolutionise the way we build websites and content in Drupal, by achieving things that were never before possible with Drupal Core alone.

We will see the front-end UI in action, as well as dive into live code examples to show how powerful this new tool becomes when we take full advantage of the Layouts API. We will also look forward to see what the future holds for Layout Builder, and looking at what is being worked on right now for future release.

It will last from 6 pm to 7 pm and afterwards, we will adjourn to the nearby bar, Hemma, for further discussion and chat.
