This course assumes you're an experienced site builder with Drupal 8. You know how to configure a Drupal site, but you've found limitations with what you can do with core and contributed modules.

Target audience:
- Drupal developers new to module development (Learners)
- PHP developers new to Drupal (Newcomers)
Prerequisites:
In order to get the most out of this course you should have prior experience in site building with Drupal. A combination of Acquia's Introduction to Drupal 8 (or What’s New in Drupal 8) and Building Websites with Drupal 8 would be ideal preparation for those with prior non-Drupal experience.
- Drupal related site configuration
- Content creation and maintenance
- Site building.
- Familiarity with writing code in a text editor.
- Programming experience with PHP is preferred, but any programming experience will be helpful.
Duration: See above.

- Describe Drupal's hook system and development architecture
- Articulate the construction of Drupal modules
- Insert and extract data using Drupal's core database abstraction layer.
- Employ and articulate best practices, security techniques, conventions and coding standard
