Prerequisites
To get the most out of this session, you should have some experience with PHP or another programming language.

It also will be helpful to have at least a beginner's knowledge of Drupal. For example, this session will show you how to create a new block programmatically but we won't have time to fully cover what a Drupal block is. Therefore it will be helpful if you have used the basic block functionality in Drupal core.
