One of them is the **Drupal 8 Development Cookbook** to be published by [Packt Publishing](https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/drupal-8-development-cookbook#) around May 2016! The book will feature over 60 recipes that will help beginners and seasoned Drupalistas get a handle on Drupal 8. I have been helping on developing Drupal Commerce 2.x and given a hand with the Panels in Drupal 8 initiative. Taking from these experiences I have been working hard to create a great resource for all Drupal 8 hopefuls! In this book, you will learn - Extend Drupal through contributed or custom modules and themes - Develop an internationalized website with Drupal's multilingual tools - Integrate third-party front-end and back-end libraries with Drupal - Turn Drupal into a web services provider using REST - Create a mobile-first responsive Drupal application - Run SimpleTest and PHPUnit to test Drupal - Understand the plugin system that powers many of Drupal 8's new APIs to extend its functionality - Get to grips with the mechanics of the configuration management system and the ability to import and export site configuration Link to book on PacktPub.com:  ![](/themes/custom/mglaman/images/headshot.webp)Thanks for reading I write about Drupal, PHP, and the quiet infrastructure behind large sites — caching, config, and testing. New posts land every week or two.
