Theme configuration in Drupal 8 has now adopted YAML. YAML is a human-friendly data serialization standard used by many programming languages, including Symfony, which Drupal 8 is now built on. With this adoption, the syntax to create an info file has now changed as well. One important concept when creating or editing any *.yml
file is that proper indentation is required. Failure to properly indent configuration can lead to errors or to the configuration not loading at all. We can dive deeper into the specifics of YAML
and find out more detailed information at the Symfony website (http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/yaml/yaml_format.html).

Overview of this book
Drupal 8 is an open source content management system and powerful framework that helps deliver great websites to individuals and organizations, including non-profits, commercial, and government around the globe. This new release has been built on top of object-oriented PHP and includes more than a handful of improvements such as a better user experience, cleaner HTML5 markup, a new templating engine called Twig, multilingual capabilities, new configuration management, and effortless content authoring. Drupal 8 will quickly become the new standard for deploying content to both the web and mobile applications. However, with so many new changes, it can quickly become overwhelming knowing where to start and how to quickly.
Starting from the bottom up, we will install, set up, and configure Drupal 8. We’ll navigate the Admin interface so you can learn how to work with core themes and create new custom block layouts. Walk through a real-world project to create a Twig theme from concept to completion while adopting best practices to implement CSS frameworks and JavaScript libraries. We will see just how quick and easy it is to create beautiful, responsive Drupal 8 websites while avoiding the common mistakes that many front-end developers make.
