The new panel structure in Drupal 8

Limerick City & County Council

Instructor was very knowledgeable. I liked the real-world examples of Drupal projects.

Limerick City & County Council

There was a nice flow between; - Presentation slides, knowledge building - Hands on examples - Timing of breaks - A nice sprinkle of drupal developer tips, e.g. popular 'modules', admin advise, etc.

Limerick City & County Council

Topics that were covered were done well and with relevant exercises, and several times Lukasz also referred back to the structure of our own council website to show where certain entities we had talked about in the training were already in use on the site, which I thought was a good way to cement the ideas that had been learned.
