Presentation 2
Drupal and Composer: An in-depth look, by Jay Friendly
As any developer working with Drupal 8 knows, working with Composer has become an integral part of working with Drupal. This can be daunting for those without previous experience working with command line, and can still be a confusing experience for those who do. This presentation will look at what Composer is, how Drupal site builders can use Composer to manage their Drupal projects, and how Drupal module developers can manage module and 3rd party library dependencies using Drupal.
