Remember when Drupal 8 was brand new and full of new features?

Are you still excited about Drupal 8? Drupal 8 has added many great features since 8.0.0 and many more features are coming soon(ish). If you haven't started with Drupal 8 or haven't kept up with new features that are being develped for Drupal core, this session is for you.

This presentation is an overview of what Drupal could look like in the near future. We will explore current development that is happening to add new features to Drupal core such as:

  • Layout Builder
  • Media Support
  • Content Moderation
  • Workspaces
  • React in core? 🔥

We will also look at features that have already been added to Drupal core such as:

  • Settings Tray
  • BigPipe
  • Date Range
  • Off-canvas dialog

The process of adding features to Drupal 8 has not been painless. We will look at some the lessons learned along the way.
