Course Description
That means that we should learn to change the front-end of our Drupal 8 system - the way we need it.
There are two main things that are changing the game in the Drupal 8 theming- Drupal 8 is built on top of Symfony framework- There are lessons learned from Drupal 7that means that now the theming of a Drupal website is a bit different - everything is much more structured (almost all the markup is in template files), the templates are using Twig and everywhere one has to deal with code - one finds objects and classes.
In the end - it is not as scary as it looks like - simply everything evolved into something much better, much simpler andelegant,something that is not applicable only in the context of Drupal andthat is following general web-development best practices.
In this course I tried to explain the general topics the shortest and the clearest way possible as afterwards Itried to illustrate everything with some simple examples. My opinion is that when you see some simple example working and when you try it by yourself - you already have the tools to investigate further and find exactly what you need to be done.
I've been doing drupal-development and theming for many years now - so I know what exactly are the topics that are needed the most - Itried to include all of those and in the end I wrapped all that was learned in an example website that we will convert together form a static html-css version into a working Drupal 8 theme.
Lets conquer together the Drupal 8 theming layer!

Very good, but it's difficult for me, I can't hear well, I have a problem with English.
But the tutorial is beyond my expectations, captions, notes, etc.
