We'll cover the following topics and tools, show live demonstrations, then discuss use cases and common snags.

• Building and recycling profiles
• Build scripts
• Auto-generating content in your profile for rapid testing and development
• Tricks for keeping development in one git repository while publishing intermittently to a client's site with it's own versioning, like Pantheon or Acquia.
