Hi,

I am talking about Drupal 8 Symfony2 in a meetup next week. I already gave a course (3 days) about this topic. This to both Symfony and Drupal developers. The audience next week will be mainly Symfony developers and no Drupal developers.

So I'd like to know
1) what would be the most interesting topics for Symfony2 developers on this topic?
2) And most importantly, why should a Symfony2 developers learn Drupal 8?

I'm already saying something about the Symfony components that are used in Drupal 8 and how they are used.

Does anyone has tips for me?

The main selling point of Drupal may be faster development. For a comparison in the context of D7, see http://pixeljets.com/blog/drupal-7-vs-symfony-2-overview-after-1-year-sy...

You might also point out that, partly through Acquia's marketing efforts, Drupal has gained brand recognition among buyers of enterprise websites which Symfony may not have. Regardless of whether that situation is fair, it may may Drupal attractive to anyone who wishes to pick up more work.

I'm a symfony 2 developer and two components of drupal are especially interesting. The component to build forms with graphically and the components to build models (entities) with graphically. I'm not sure if it's possible to use drupal components outside of drupal or if there are too many dependencies for that. Otherwise it would be interesting to talk when to use drupal instead of building off the symfony framework.
