4. From the technological point of view, Drupal 8 was developed in PHP (it uses PHP 7, which is super fast), it also uses Symfony Framework components which is believed to be the best solution for developing complex applications in the PHP ecosystem and Twig template engine, which streamlines front-end works and improves security.

5. Drupal Security Team is a special group of people who take care of the security of both Drupal and its modules. The team constantly checks Drupal in order to find any and all bugs. In the case of a security hole, the team quickly publishes bugfixes and updates. Notifications announcing new updates are visible in the website’s administration panel, they can also be received via e-mail.

Discussion

  1. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things. Steve Jobs – Apple Worldwide Developers’ Conference, 1997
