Enhancing and Supporting the Editor Experience
Third party libraries or services are often integrated within websites to improve aspects such as user experience, tracking user behaviour and connecting APIs. By allowing more flexibility for website content editors, they can rely less on developers to include new functionality or features on their sites, as they would have access to practical tools, such as…

Manage more than just content with Drupal ORM
Drupal core comes "battery-included", the simplistic UI means that a site requires minimal configuration before it hits the ground running. This is further supported by the vast ecosystem of community modules and themes, facilitating the majority of functionality through a simple 'plug-and-play' approach.

Extending Twig Templates with Blocks in Drupal 8
One of the many good things about Drupal 8 is the introduction of Twig. It's a lovely templating engine that, in my opinion, is far superior to PHPTemplate.
