Drupal 8.x

I am new to Drupal.
I am not new to programming, frameworks, and databases - by 30 years ! (yes, I'm an old man)
And I'm going to voice my opinion of Drupal 7, which I am currently learning.

First off: where's the documentation? The official guides to doing things.
There are literally hundreds of pages about this and that, usually conflicting, usually out-of-date, nearly always incomplete and lacking important details. Yes I could buy a book, but I could just as easily spend that money on a prebuilt working system !!!

I am at the exciting stage of having been invited to a second interview at a web agency specialising in Drupal. The first interview was with a couple of more technical staff, but number two will be with the relatively new MD.

My background is broadly "IT" with some self taught exposure to web technologies, but this certainly my weakness - having no commercial Drupal experience under my belt.

Hey, all,

I've inherited a drupal site with a bunch of idiosyncratic ways of displaying the date on the website. Because of these coding idiosyncrasies, I can't get the time to display correctly on stories, but the date appears perfectly in the Preview code for the full, small and teaser displays. Does anyone know what the actual display code is for date in the Preview post section in the site administration? I would love to simply use it to display everything on the site.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have been porting my contrib to Drupal 8 for a while, and with the latest change about hook_menu_links_default being removed and menu_links.yml being added, I am stuck. Even though I have been examining core modules' code. Long story short, my link doesn't show up on /admin/config/system. Can you help me? Below are my files.

tcmb.menu_links.yml:

How can i add a Google Form in my Drupal Site the best way. It's for registrating visitors for an event.

Many thanks.

I have been looking around for a lightweight, flash-free, non-flippin', mobile friendly, fullscreen magazin viewer. A simpler alternativ to the Pageflip module. A one step zoom and pan would be nice. I know about issuu but their price plans change for the worse to often. A fullscreen image gallery is not quite what I'm looking for either. If someone is willing to work on a module like this, I can help with ideas and some css/graphics.

Any thoughts on this?
