Make Drupal 7 Development Fun and Modern
summary
Shows how to add PSR autoloading into Drupal 7 using XAutoload, build namespaced module classes and register them to create blocks, and pull in a third‑party PHP library (php‑loremipsum) either via the libraries folder or via composer so the same code runs whether installed manually or with composer. Demonstrates a live prototype module, enabling a composer auto loader module, converting an existing D7 site to a composer project, and how this fits into Lando, CI/build tools and Pantheon deployment workflows.
