- How to leverage post-install tasks to keep yourself DRY
The goals of the learnings from this session are to:
- Save time
- Follow best practices
- Make your development experience more enjoyable
- Look cool in the process
This session is for you if:
- You've been wanting to try out Composer
- You already use Composer but want to learn more about the best practices
- You frequently spin up new sites, whether for module development, agency work, or for funzies
- You're thinking about using one of the popular distributions (e.g., Lightning) and wonder if there's a better option
- You are a Composer expert, so you can heckle me and point out mistakes
I look forward to seeing you there!
