New FREE Series! Drupal maintenance support plans 8: Composer and Configuration Management

I’m releasing a new series today!!!!!
Over the last year, I’ve given a talk at Drupal maintenance support plansCon, Drupal maintenance support plansCorn Camp, and Drupal maintenance support plans Camp Colorado all about using Composer and Configuration Management in Drupal maintenance support plans 8.
