Summary
In this chapter, we learned an easy way to set up a local machine to work on a Drupal 10 website. Using Docker and DDEV, we installed the website we’ll work on for the rest of the book. We also installed and set up an IDE, Visual Studio Code, which will allow us to inspect and work on the code in a powerful way. We dissected the demo website to recap how a Drupal website is made and which concepts we need to understand it. Finally, we disabled all the performance optimization to speed up the development of the new custom theme.
It's time to start building our theme. In Chapter 2, Setting a New Theme and Build Process, we'll create a new theme from scratch and set up a build process to automate some useful tasks.
