Backdrop CMS

Let’s take a look at Backdrop (https://backdropcms.org/) and see what great new tools exist in this Drupal 7 based fork of the project. Jason Bell had a chance to talk with Nate Haug, one of the co-maintainers of Backdrop, at the recent Midcamp and is excited to share the great work they’ve done.

Backdrop features:

• Views in core

• New Panels like layout system

• Configuration management

• HTML5 support

• Updated jQuery and jQuery UI

• Speed (claims faster than Drupal 7, and really who could refute that!?)
