Introducing the Free Drupal 8 Site Building Class

Drupal 8 was the biggest launch in Drupal’s history.

After 5 years of development, Drupal 8 arrived in late 2015.

Has it been a success so far? Yes. Drupal 8 is running over 100,000 sites and is already more popular than Drupal 6.

As a training company, OSTraining tries hard to support Drupal 8. We set ourselves a goal to help as many people as possible to use Drupal 8. In 2015, we launched a Kickstarter project which provided enough financing to release over 200 free videos. The training is the best available for Drupal 8, and it’s completely free.

Has it been a success so far? Yes. Drupal 8 is running over 100,000 sites and is now more popular than Drupal 6.

In our own way, we've tried to help support Drupal 8's launch.
