Embrace the “Drupal Way”. It won’t give you abs or make you a millionaire (well…), but it can make writing custom Drupal code a reasonable endeavor. Drupal provides you, the developer, tools to solve your problems.

Want decoupled and maintainable code? Write a module and keep that logic out of your theme.

Focuses on Drupal 7 with some Drupal 8.

This session will cover:

  • What are modules
  • Why your code should go in modules
  • What makes up a module
  • What is the hook system
  • Resources
  • Questions
  • Write a module
