• Create a new local D8 site.
• Create article, image, and promo content types with a few fields using the UI.
• Create several articles, images, and promos with devel generate
• Make some changes on a node and try the preview button. It doesn’t work the same as in D7.
• Try to disable modules (you can’t). Note that they are installed or uninstalled only.
• Try out the Views UI, it is pretty similar to D7, but not totally. Create a view of articles. Make that the front page.
• Get rid of comments on one or more content types. The process is different now. Comments are fields.
• Try out the new block placement UI and place some blocks on the page. Set some up to display only on specific paths. Use the same block in more than one region with different rules for when it should appear in each region and test that the rules work.
• Use the new fieldable blocks feature with an entityreference field to create a substitute for a nodequeue. You can create a new ‘nodequeue’ block type, then add a field to that block type.
