The document outlines a presentation on using Drupal 8, D3, and Arduino to create real-world solutions, emphasizing the integration of these technologies for data visualization. It details a step-by-step approach to build an application within Drupal 8, including designing the data model and creating the database while highlighting the importance of accurately reflecting data structure needs. The presentation concludes with an invitation for questions and project ideas.

13. Building
the
Application
in Drupal 8
1. Build statically
2. Design the Data Model and
Create the Database
3. Build the Data API
4. Hook the Database into the
Application
5. Augment the Application

14. Why this approach?
• Moving the data back through the MVC flow step-by-step
helps solidify requirements of the data structure.
• Helps ensure the data structure accurately reflects the
needs of application.
• Defining the model first can end up with second-guessing
what the application will look like and how it will work.
