BLT is an open-source project that has evolved within Acquia for standardising the build and management of Drupal projects. It has recently been released as an open-source project. Lightning is a Drupal 8 distribution designed to provide a starting point for Drupal 8 projects.

These projects form the starting point for most Acquia Professional Services projects. During this session we will cover:

- the problem are these projects solving;
- the benefits and drawbacks of using them;
- how to start a project using BLT;
- how to integrate a CI solution with your BLT project.

The concepts covered should be relevant to anyone kicking off a project in Drupal. Some of the code concepts will require a degree of development experience.
