      This week, Oliver is joined by Mark Conroy - Director of Development at Annertech - to discuss all things front-end and how to build something useful in one day.

      ## Talking Points

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