      <p>This week on the Beyond Blocks podcast, I'm joined by Mark Conroy - Director of Development at Annertech to discuss all things front-end development and building something useful in one day.</p>

      <p><a href="/podcast/11-mark-conroy">Listen now</a></p>

      <h2 id="talking-points">Talking points</h2>

      <ul>
      <li>Building better websites faster, including Drupal distributions, such as LocalGov.</li>
      <li>What Drupal gives you out of the box and using the right tool for the job.</li>
      <li>Drupal migrations and migrating Drupal configuration from a spreadsheet.</li>
      <li>Saving time and improving efficiency by standardising base builds with Docksal and Composer.</li>
      <li>How to build projects, like the Running Plan Generator, in a day and training for 10Ks and marathons.</li>
      <li>Prioritising tasks.</li>
      <li>Annertech's development workflow and standardisation by developing on remote servers.</li>
      <li>Why you may not need preprocessors and complicated front-end build tools, and reducing complexity using vanilla CSS, JavaScript and web components.</li>
      <li>Lowering the barrier to entry to contribute to open-source projects.</li>
      <li>Building a design system/component library with web components.</li>
      <li>The Content Access by Path module that was developed for Essex County Council.</li>
