I am new in Drupal and I'm trying to build classifieds website. Right now I'm testing ed_classifieds project and it lakcs one (in my view) big feature: links (or buttons) to the next and previous ad in same category.
I've been using Drupal for some time now, and with building experience I'm finding myself starting websites from scratch to be quite regular :)
I'm just curious,
I understand D8 is unstable, but if I was building a site in D8 at the current time to be released after Drupal 8's official release, will I encounter any problems upgrading? I'm thinking more about the core improvements which change over time.
I'd like to build all I can when I can at the various stages of D8's development cycle, but I need assurance I will be able to pull it off.
First and foremost, I love drupal and its community.
Here's a brief description of who I am, where I am going, and what I am looking for from you folks.
- A few years ago I came up with an idea for a business.
- No experience with web development. I started with dreamweaver, got into php, watched videos from lynda.com, and then discovered the all mighty Drupal.
- Eventually got "stuck" with a few modules and customization. I tried educating myself and then decided it took too much time and I knew enough to describe what I wanted and hired some guys from India and the Phillipines. Huge language barrier. So I went to US developers, most of them were out of my budget and those that are cheap were a scam. I lost over $4000 so far...
- I recently decided to take this into my own hands, no matter how much time it takes, to learn drupal and php so that I can do this on my own.
