• Adaptation to API changes. The student will have the necessary knowledge to adapt to the continuous version changes of Drupal 9 and make the changes that may be required in the code of its modules.
• Learn to contribute to the community. Drupal's success would not have been possible without thousands of enthusiasts, users and developers, who have shared their developments, knowledge and experiences with the community. That is why we believe that, whenever possible, we should contribute to the community, either by sharing and maintaining the developed modules, reporting bugs and fixes, and helping other users.
