Below is a list of additional bits of information for this video, including parts where time has shown that additional explanation is required. If updates to Drupal affect how the video will be interpreted, there will also be updates here.

Because Picturefill is not a complete implementation of the srcset attribute, it will work slightly differently in various browsers. The number of browsers supporting srcset properties is growing, with IE being a notable exception.

The Views Slideshow module now requires an additional step to download the jQuery Cycle plugin into the sites/all/libraries folder. You can see detailed instructions in the README.txt file that comes with Views Slideshow.

A viewer noted that we do not update the use statement after updating the code to use the BlindD8NotableEvent class. If you run into trouble with the class not being available, add the following statement to the top of the file:
use Drupal\blindd8\BlindD8NotableEvent;

There are some security holes noted in the module that have not been fixed. I stand by the concepts that this module introduces for navigation and am keeping this video here as an example of how to set up solid administrative navigation in a project, but I would not suggest you use Navigate at this point.

As mentioned on the grunt-autoprefixer page, this plugin has been deprecated in favor of grunt-postcss. There are instructions on the grunt-postcss page on migrating to the new plugin (it's super easy).

As per this update to Drupal 8, permissions are now defined in a $module.permissions.yml file instead of hook_permission(). Please see the change record on drupal.org for details on converting to the new structure.

In this video we correct a mistake in the validation function name, but we don't explicitly mention why this change occurred. We switched from input_example_form_validate() to input_simple_form_validate(). The input_simple_form_validate() version is correct because the form function name is input_simple_form(). Sorry for not mentioning the change!

In this video we accidentally use SORT BY instead of ORDER BY.

In the latest version of Drupal 8, the filename format of the YAML file used for adding menu links via a module has changed from modulename.menu_links.yml to modulename.link.menu.yml.

In this video we demonstrate how to manually update a module. But, we neglect to mention that in most cases you don't have to do this manually, you can also use the Update Manager module to download the updated code, turn on maintenance mode, install the updates and guide you to the update.php file.
Just click on the Update tab on the Extend page, click the checkboxes next to the modules you want to update, and click the Download these updates button.

While the videos regarding secure releases are still valid, Drupal.org has added a shield badge to make it easier to tell which releases get monitored by the Drupal security team:

In this video we referenced http://drush.ws, but the site now forwards to https://github.com/drush-ops/drush, and the commands are listed on http://api.drush.org/.

When this video was recorded, Drush Make was a separate download and install, but now it is part of the default Drush bundle.

Since the recording of this video, Pantheon's interface for spinning up and managing sites has changed to some degree. However, you should still be able to follow along with the video where we demonstrate how to run custom code on a Pantheon-based Drupal installation.

In this example, the sidebar block we are creating has the title "Recent blog posts", but when we create the block we use the title "Latest blog posts". They're the same block, we're just taking some liberties with the wireframe that a real client might not appreciate.

One viewer noted that they needed to put their images for this step into the themes/custom/css/images folder instead of the themes/custom/images directory. If you're having troubles, give that a shot.

In this video we copy over several style definitions, many of which use the .video-id-blog_main_page selector. However, several viewers have mentioned that when following the videos they end up with .video-id-blog_home_page instead. So if you're having issues with the styles applying, give the other selector a try.

In this video we execute a PHP script, but if you have not installed PHP before it will not work. To install PHP on its own without a full development stack, here are some instructions:

One viewer noted that the "Operations" column with the "Readme" and "Install" links are now consolidated into a single button drop-down. Don't panic, all is well, just click that button to view the options now.
Added on March 06, 2015
One viewer pointed out that the class name they needed to use for this step was actually .view-id-blog_main rather than .view-id-blog_home.

In this video I say "sixth" step, but I really mean "seventh". Not too important, but I didn't want to leave you feeling utterly confused.
Added on March 06, 2015
In the video we select a widget called "Text Field with Date Pop-up calendar". In the latest version of the Date module, this is called simply "Pop-up Calendar". To follow along with the videos, choose this option.
Added on March 06, 2015
In this video, I suggest that you can change the Number of values setting for individual instances of a field when indeed you cannot. When we change it in this video, we're actually changing it for all instances of the field, including the one we created in previous videos. Kudos to one of our viewers for pointing this out!

In this example and the ones to follow, there is a method in the Crud class called Crud(). While this still works, the proper way to do this now is to create a function called __construct() instead.

One user noted that they needed to add date_default_timezone_set(); to their code to set the server to their time zone. Also, the ./cache folder was not created automatically and they needed to create it manually before the script worked.

In this example, we demonstrate how to change the character encoding to display the pound (£) symbol. Some viewers have noted that their browser did not have this problem in the first place, so the video doesn't have the same output on their machines. No worries, this is a small step on the way to bigger things, but the info about character encoding should still be useful.
Added on March 06, 2015
In this example, we're using Drupal 8 Alpha 12 and we have to invoke a rather long method to fetch the current route. However, if you're using the latest version of Drupal 8, you can now use the much simpler routeMatch() method, as demonstrated in the updated change record here, under the drupal_get_title() section.

In previous videos and in the resource pack we use the number 5, but in the video we use 20. Nothing serious, just wanted to relieve any confusion.

A couple of our viewers had to add the following line to the .htaccess file for these examples to work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/examples/.+.php$
