Introduction and Getting Set Up

Welcome to Drupal 8 Blueprints!

I'm Alex Burrows, and I'll be your guide for this journey through building websites using Drupal 8.

Firstly, this book is aimed at beginner to intermediate-level developers. You'll need an understanding of how websites work and some PHP knowledge, as we will later delve into writing some custom modules, but mostly, this book will use Drupal's powerful configuration.

Throughout the book, we will go over things we covered earlier; however, the aim is to understand the basics and, if at any time, you become unsure, review the chapter where it was covered.

We will cover the following to get you ready to build websites using Drupal 8 first:
