Learning Drupal can be challenging because of its robust, extensible, and powerful capability for digital experiences, making it difficult for beginners to grasp and use it for application development. If you’re looking to break into Drupal with hands-on knowledge, this Drupal 10 Masterclass is for you.

You’ll discover techniques for developing modules and themes and harness Drupal’s robust content management through layout builder, blocks, and content workflows. The book familiarizes you with prominent tools such as Git, Drush, and Composer for code deployments and DevOps practices for Drupal application management.

Popular Drupal case studies

Drupal case studies start with their fundamental content management features, which build off of structured data. Drupal has been commonly used for blogs, websites, or news. Stanford University offers a web content management program that delivers Drupal and various content management features as a service through their IT department. The State of Georgia offers a similar web platform built with Drupal. Other popular Drupal websites include London.gov.uk, home.cern, unicef.org, the Syfy network, the State of Massachusetts, The Weather Channel, Tesla, Entertainment Weekly, NCAA, the Emmy Awards, and NASA.

Distributions in Drupal often represent popular use cases for Drupal, reducing the time and cost of creating multiple sites that have similar requirements. Websites built with the Open Social distribution (getopensocial.com) help create community-based websites with groups, events, private messaging, and enhanced user profiles. Case studies include Local Gov Drupal (drupal.org/project/localgov), The United Nations, The Salvation Army, and The European Commission. Drupal Commerce is a distribution tailored for eCommerce websites, with a series of optional features for payment gateway integrations, promotions/coupons, analytics, shipping, and fulfillment. Case studies include EuroCentres, Open Sesame, and Artellite.

Drupal has countless published case studies and even more undocumented installations that highlight its wide adoption. These case studies demonstrate Drupal’s ability to be used in different industries and verticals, as well as for different implementations.
