by Blair WadmanNamespaces? Symfony? YAML? Controllers? Routes? Annotations? So much to learn!
You sit down to craft your first Drupal 8 module and everywhere you look there is a new PHP/OOP concept to master. People are telling you to learn Symfony, get a book on objected oriented PHP and figure out namespaces, YAML, controllers and routes before you have even written your first line of Drupal 8 module code. Everywhere you turn there is something new to learn. That’s enough to make a person feel buried.
“I'm dreading switching from Drupal 7"
You search through the documentation and read one blog post after another to get started on creating your first Drupal 8 module. You are not sure if you are learning the right things, in the right order or what to do next. You soon realise that Drupal 8 is a huge remake of how Drupal works under the hood.
“But… now I’m being forced to transition and OOP is making me question if I can really hack it as a Drupal developer"
New skills are essential for your career but you’ve got deadlines to meet so don’t have time to burn. You don’t have time to waste searching for answers. You feel you are significantly reducing your potential as a Drupal developer if you can’t figure it out.
It would be great for your career if you could create custom Drupal 8 modules. But there is so much to learn first.
"Your way of teaching how to write things in PHP but the Drupal way is exactly my missing piece of the puzzle"
What if you didn’t have to master object oriented programming, Symfony components and the myriad of new tools before you even start? Imagine if you knew precisely how to create your first Drupal 8 custom module, step by step and could ship it by this time next week. And how great would it be if you picked up the essential new PHP concepts while creating it, rather than having to learn them all before.
It’s true that there are lot of new concepts in Drupal 8, but that doesn’t have to stop you.

The Curriculum
Day 1: Introduction and Module Setup
You will be introduced to the fundamental Drupal 8 concepts required to develop custom modules, setup the new custom Drupal 8 module and programmatically create a custom page.
Learn: Routes, Namespaces, Controllers, YAML
Day 2: Drupal 8 Menu System
Learn how to add links to the Drupal 8 menu system, make the message dynamic and set different permission levels.
Learn: Drupal 8 Menu system, YAML, Access control
Day 3: Hooks in Drupal 8 and building an admin interface
Learn how to use the hook system to display a welcome message when a user logs in. You will then learn how to add the user's name to the message. Finally, you will learn how to display the message in a custom block.
Learn: Hooks in Drupal 8, service containers, blocks, interfaces
Day 4: Drupal 8 Custom Blocks
Learn how to display a message in a custom block and how to make the message in the block configurable so that you, or someone else, can change it in an admin form. While creating a configurable block is a relatively simple concept at a high level, it does touch on a lot of new concepts in Drupal 8 including Plugins and Annotations.
Learn: Plugins, extending classes, interfaces, annotations, abstract classes, tokens
Day 5: Drupal 8 Services and Dependency Injection
Create a standalone PHP class called a service that will generate a random message. You will then inject that service into the messages constructor.
Learn: Services, service containers, dependency injection, constructor methods
Day 6: Events in Drupal 8
Build a special kind of service, an event. Events are the Drupal 8 object oriented replacement for hooks.
Learn: Events and event-driven programming, Event Subscribers, Event Dispatchers
Day 7: Building a Drupal 8 module using the Drupal Console
In days 1 to 6, everything has been my hand. This is the best way to learn what is really going on. However, once you gain a certain level of understanding, you can really on a very important tool to create a lot of the scaffolding code for you: The Drupal Console
Learn: Drupal Console
Bonus Guides
In-depth guides to cement your understanding. The guides currently cover the blocks systems, menu system, admin forms, hooks, interfaces and abstract classes.
