PDF is dead; long live PDF! New standards with new applications - PDF in Drupal part 2
It’s strange but true: seven years after the PDF reference was published as an ISO standard (ISO-32000-1), there are still developers who think that the Portable Document Format is a closed document format owned by Adobe.

Augmenting OSTraining’s Drupal 8 site building course
A few months ago OSTraining did a crowdfunding campaign. Their goal was to develop Drupal 8 introductory videos that would then be made available for free on Youtube. With the funding goal exceeded, the result was a great series of videos. We packaged them into a learning path for Drupal 8 site builders and extracted some learning objectives to make it easy to track your progress with the materials.
