Migrating from Drupal to Backdrop
Apress (Verlag)
978-1-4842-1759-7 (ISBN)
There is a major shift in the open source CMS market and Backdrop is emerging as a significant force. The Drupal team's decision to rebuild Drupal 8 on Symfony has many developers and organizations in a quandary – do you learn a whole new framework and undertake the effort of migrating to Drupal 8, stay on Drupal 7 which will at some point be officially unsupported, or adopt Backdrop as their go-forward strategic platform? There is also a large mid-market that may not have the ability to scale up with the skills required to support Drupal 8 (Symfony), making Backdrop a viable and attractive alternative.
By reading this book, you will:
Understand why you should use Backdrop and the power of the platform
Quickly build confidence in your ability to use Backdrop
Gain the knowledge necessary to build, deploy, and manage web sites of moderate complexity on Backdrop
Understand the process for migrating a Drupal 6 or 7 site to Backdrop
What You Will Learn:

How to install a basic Backdrop web site from scratch
How to create content in your new Backdrop web site
How to install and configure modules
How to migrate a Drupal 6 site to Backdrop
