Migrating from Drupal to Backdrop

You’ll learn what Backdrop is, how to install and configure Backdrop, and create and manage content.

The Drupal team’s decision to rebuild Drupal 8 on Symfony has many developers and organizations in a quandary – do you learn a whole new framework and undertake the effort of migrating to Drupal 8, stay on Drupal 7 which will at some point be officially unsupported, or adopt Backdrop as their go-forward strategic platform? There is also a large mid-market that may not have the ability to scale up with the skills required to support Drupal 8 (Symfony), making Backdrop a viable and attractive alternative.

By reading this book, you will:

• Understand why you should use Backdrop and the power of the platform
• Quickly build confidence in your ability to use Backdrop
• Gain the knowledge necessary to build, deploy, and manage web sites of moderate complexity on Backdrop
