Have you ever wanted a one button install for major applications? Do you repeat project setup and deployment infrastructure for every site (manually)? Does your project automatically check the code quality of Drupal modules and client side JS out of the box?

Hit the ground running on your next project with StarterKit, a one-stop solution for rapid configuration and deployment of Drupal websites that leverages cutting-edge tools such as Ansible, Grunt, and Compass.

In this session you will:
