Summary

In this chapter, we continued our journey with the Pimcore CMS by discovering the bricks engine, another important tool for creating dynamic websites. By creating bricks, it's easy to prepare reusable components that can be used by web page editors to compose any website without asking the developers for customization. This new way to proceed is very important in reducing the development effort, keeping quality standards high, and increasing the speed of implementing the features that users want.

To be more specific, we discovered how bricks work by implementing real-world examples. The contact form and slideshow are components that you will reuse in your projects for sure. Moreover, we also learned how to create a general-purpose template that enables us to produce any layout of a page without writing a single line of code.
