What about Drupal 7?Drupal 7?

#mmmhhh

Limits of Drupal 7

• Incomplete Entity API

• A lack of separation between content and configuration

• A lack of separation between logic and presentation in the theme layer

• “Drupal-specific” language (that creates a non-standard)

• Procedural programming

• Deployment

The first step over

Symfony

http://buytaert.net/why-the-big-architectural-changes-in-drupal-8

But what Symfonymeans?means?

Symfony means…

• Object Oriented Programming instead of procedural programming

• Coding standard instead of “Drupal-specific” language

• Configuration Management instead of Features

• Twig instead of phptemplate

…and also…

• Test-drive development

• Continuous integration

• Support of libraries, standards, security parameters, RFC

• Integration by-design with third-party services

http://buytaert.net/why-the-big-architectural-changes-in-drupal-8

…and finally.

• More programmers, themers, site builders that can be called Drupal developers.

• The power of two frameworks in one product

• The possibility to integrate in D8 Symfony libraries and bundle not event covered that can add new functionalities

on the other handeverything was
