Overview of this book

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. With this book, you’ll gain a thorough knowledge of Drupal by understanding its core concepts, including its technical architecture, frontend, backend, framework, and latest features. Equipped with foundational knowledge, you’ll bootstrap and install your first project with expert guidance on maintaining Drupal applications. Progressively, you’ll build applications using Drupal’s core features such as content structures, multilingual support, users, roles, Views, search, and digital assets. 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. You’ll also explore advanced use cases for content migration and multisite implementation, extending your application’s capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll not only have learned how to build a successful Drupal application but may also find yourself contributing to the Drupal community.

This chapter moves beyond installing, using, and configuring Drupal. Many of the items in this chapter run on the command line through a terminal and are well-suited for Mac and Linux machines. Support for Windows exists, but Mac and Linux have well-vetted paths adopted by many in the Drupal community.

Technical requirements change by tool. For instance, Git may have certain system dependencies that are different from a PHP-based tool such as Composer. Much of the requirements are abstracted by installers that run on the local operating system and set up the tools.

Some commands may require Secure Shell (SSH), either to access a machine remotely or for use by the tool on the local system to connect to remote systems. This is often important for connecting to environments that run Drupal applications or working with code repositories. Configuring SSH often needs to be set up locally and on remote systems. Some SaaS vendors offer user interfaces that allow...
