The Evolution of Drupal: From Legacy Perception to Modern Component Architecture
What we'll cover
How Drupal transformed its architecture and why the gap between reputation and reality matters
The State of Drupal
This session analyzes how inconsistent implementations shaped negative Drupal impressions and outlines the path for modern practices.
