Local development isn't dead. In fact, it hasn't even been born. Now, more than ever, developers are looking at their local environments as the primary place to do development. Developers demand the speed, control, and customization provided only by a local development setup.

Local development is more than just having the ability to code when "on an airplane". It is the ability to set up your own custom workflows, the ability to use cutting edge build steps, compilers, and testing frameworks. It is the speed of being able to immediately preview changes and is the ability to quickly run all of your tests. Forget about "waiting for Travis". Get results now. Be productive now.

This session will be about how to be a professional web developer using a professional local development workflow. Attendees will learn:

  • How to Set Up an Industrial Grade Local Development Workflow
  • Docker Containerization: How It Can Help You Locally Dev Like a Pro
  • What Local Development Tooling Option Exists (Docker, Kalabox, DrupalVM, MAMP, etc)
  • How to Set Up Development Build Processes (Grunt, Gulp, Robo, Composer)
  • Running ALL OF THE TESTS on your local machine for speed and reliability.
  • Integrations of Local Development Solutions with External Hosting Providers (EC2, Acquia, Pantheon, etc)
