<H3>Component based theming with Twig by Forum One</H3>
<H4>10:15 - 5:30, Friday, August 25 ($450) </H4>
<P>Join us as we walk through the theming variations that started with the traditional theme-centric design and has quickly moved into component-based design.  Together we will master Component-based theming with Twig as we work to identify patterns, define components, utilize command line tools such as Composer, NPM and Grunt to quickly create a PatternLab managed theme. Learn how to work smarter in developing components that can easily be integrated into project after project without having to recreate yourself.</P>
<P>All attendees will receive a digital copy of Chaz' book "Drupal 8 Theming with Twig".</P>

<P>Hands-on exercises and one-on-one support will guide you through the process of creating your first Drupal site.</P>
