When Drupal 8 presented itself last fall, we knew we didn’t want to wait until Drupal 7 reached end of life before getting our hands dirty. We acknowledged Drupal will never stop progressing and decided to jump right in with Drupal 8 by building our new sites on 8. Here we will talk about the building of the first Drupal 8 site in our department, the differences we discovered between 7 and 8 as well as what we liked more and what we like less.
