0:01: easy installation, an experience build, and a marketplace for Drupal. All of these and more, mentioned in the last DrupalCon. Hi, my name is Eduardo Telaya senior Drupal backend specialist, and today I will give you an update on the last DrupalCon in Atlanta 2025. For Mac, yes!
0:25: By basically going to the new.drupal.orgdrupal-cms.launcher you can download easily the installer and execute as any other program, and you have the Drupal CMS really easily installed right away. That’s easy. And coming soon, it’s going to be in Windows.
0:40: Second, big news!
0:50: Imagine, you know, creating your components, you know, your React components, without having to do any local setup, just on the code editor, and seeing that on real-time.
1:01: you just click on submit and then that component is applied right away in the website. Well, that is the Experience Builder.
1:08: Eh, which allows you to create components, eh, much quicker and giving more flexibility and allowing, eh, more, of course, front-end developers and other, eh, eh, devs also come to, ah, to Drupal without having to do a local setup.
1:23: It’s just right away, you create the components. Very amazing. Three, Marketplace. Finally, the Marketplace. Marketplace, ah, site templates, eh, is coming to Drupal so that, eh, non-Drupal users can do the installation configuration and, of course, the execution or the creation of the website right
1:43: away. If you want more, eh, support, then you can, eh, chat with the agency, of course, and to help, eh, with more staffing.
1:53: But then, eh, more people will come, you know, eh, to because of this Marketplace, so that is awesome, and developers can sell these, eh, ready-to-go websites.
2:05: So, a quick, easy installation, an experienced builder, and a Marketplace were one of the most important announcements for DrupalCon 2025. And I truly think, ah, since I work many hats, eh, that, eh, the FQA, PM, eh, software architect and so on, it could really impact, positively to Drupal.
