Drupal 8: Under the Hood

Drupal 8 comes with a shiny new objecy-oriented base, and a lot of hype surrounding it. But personally, I love it. So in this screencast, I'll take you - Drupal 7 dev - through all of the new concepts, paradigms, terms and patterns in Drupal 8.

We'll go beyond how to do something and explore how things actually work in D8. What are routes? How can I use events to tap into core parts of the system? What's all this dependency injection and service stuff? What's this Drupal Console thing I keep hearing about?
