My Ambitious Experience with Drupal 8; the Rest is History
summary
A cohort of 13 students (about five doing most of the work) migrates a small non-profit from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 for ARCS, building a responsive site with a donate button, custom Views, theming and a Google Maps page using the geolocation field and Google Maps API. Workflow uses Git/GitHub, Drupal VM for local dev, and custom block types for the Layout Builder; clients test-drive the layout builder, like it despite quirks with Bootstrap 3, and the site launches successfully.
