Each unit will consist of a combination of instructor presentation, hands-on exercises, and instructor lead group discussion. The units build upon one another so you’ll want to be able to attend all three.<h2>Workshop Content</h2>Themes combine HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Drupal in order to make beautiful websites. Creating truly unique themes requires knowing how to use the Twig template language to manipulate HTML, how to add CSS and JavaScript assets in a way that&#x27;s compatible with Drupal&#x27;s caching, all while maintaining the flexibility that Drupal is known for.Whether you’re creating an entirely new theme from scratch, or making nips and tucks to an existing design, understanding how Drupal’s theme system works, or having someone on your team who does, is essential.This workshop will familiarize front-end developers with Drupal 8&#x27;s theme system through a combination of presentations and hands-on exercises. Whether your goal is to theme your personal site, pass the Acquia front-end developer certification, or upgrade your skills for a job, our goal is to provide students with a solid foundation and enough knowledge to continue to practice and learn on their own.You&#x27;ll come away from this course knowing:<ul><li>How the Drupal theme layer relates to the rest of the system</li><li>Common theming terminology and processes</li><li>How to override any of Drupal&#x27;s HTML output</li><li>The relationship between base themes and sub themes</li><li>Everything you need to know about Twig when working with Drupal templates</li><li>How to add both custom and third-party CSS and JavaScript libraries</li><li>Tools for introspecting and debugging a theme</li><li>Tips and tricks for using common front-end development tools like CSS preprocessors and task runners, in conjunction with Drupal</li></ul>Attendees should be familiar with HTML and CSS and understand how to administer content on a Drupal website.

Then, as an exercise we’ll create the foundation for a new custom theme, and discuss where the markup you see in a Drupal theme comes from. We’ll also walk through some things you can do when setting up your local environment in order to make theme development easier.CSS &amp; JavaScript librariesThere are a couple of different ways that you can add CSS and JavaScript to your theme, and we’ll walk through them while discussing the pros and cons of each. We’ll also look at how to use CSS preprocessors like Sass, and task runners like Grunt in conjunction with Drupal themes. Opening up the possibility to use a variety of existing front-end frameworks and libraries as part of your custom theme.Overriding default markupIn this section we’ll examine Drupal’s use of Twig template files to generate HTML markup, and walk through the process of overriding that markup in our custom theme. We’ll look at how Drupal determines which template file to use, dynamic template file naming, and how to manipulate the HTML output in a template file.TwigHaving a firm grasp of the Twig template language is essential. So we’ll spend some time going over the language’s syntax, look at how to print output, and use filters and functions to manipulate variables. Then we’ll walk through a couple of exercises that require using Twig to modify elements in our theme.Preprocessing and moreIn this section we’ll talk about using {theme-name}.theme files to add, and manipulate the variables available in a Twig template, and to conditionally add CSS and JavaScript libraries on only the pages where they are needed in order to increase page speed.
