How I learn good programming by learning Drupal
summary
Confesses not being a fluent programmer at first, then shows concrete shifts: builds large Drupal sites (Singtel, XinMSN/Toggle), probes core and contributed modules, and moves from PHP hobby code to Drupal 7 and 8 practices. Demonstrates MVC separation, Twig templates and the T filter for sanitization to prevent XSS, uses DB abstraction to avoid SQL injection, and learns services and dependency injection plus tools like Drupal Console and config management; communication becomes the single most important skill.
