You Are Here: Exploring the Most Magical CMS on Earth
summary
Maps Drupal 8 to Walt Disney World to show how Drupal core = hub: visible pieces (active theme, core modules, contributed/custom modules) sit on top of a hidden layer of libraries and Symfony components such as routing and the kernel. Twig templates replace fragile theming and enforce separation of concerns. Contributed ecosystem numbers are large — about 6,830 contributed modules at the time — and examples like the Sorcerers game and the 2015 hub redesign show how add-ons and core changes can be integrated and deployed successfully.
