Drupal is an enterprise-grade open source content management system (CMS). The vanilla install is capable of handling content structure, content publishing workflow, layout, user and permission management. The functionality can be easily extended by installing contributed modules. Besides content-based site, Drupal can be configured as e-commerce, social networking, intranet, lightweight CRM or custom business process web application. Drupal 8 is the latest version and is built on top of Symfony.

In this workshop, participants will set up Drupal site from scratch, configure and develop an application, and deploy it to a production-ready server. A topic from https://archkatas.herokuapp.com/kata.html will be used to help define the requirement of the site.
