# Boilerplates to Accelerate Development

On October 29, 2024, I had the opportunity to present at Pixel & Tonic’s one-day conference in Toronto. My talk, titled **Using Boilerplates to Accelerate Development**, focused on how developers can leverage boilerplates to speed up the development process while maintaining quality and consistency.

During the session, I shared insights from the [boilerplate](https://github.com/CreateSean/craft-starter) I created several years agoand continuously refine and update. My aim was to show how a robust boilerplate can serve as a foundation that evolves with your projects, reducing setup time and allowing developers to focus on delivering features.

The talk went well, and it was a rewarding experience to engage with the developer community in person. I’ve included my slides below for anyone interested in the content. Once Pixel & Tonic releases the video recordings, I’ll embed my session here for a more in-depth look.

**Abstract**:

*In this session, we’ll delve into the power of boilerplates in web development and their role in accelerating your development workflow. You’ll discover how a well-crafted boilerplate can streamline repetitive tasks, reduce setup time, and allow you to focus on building your application.I’ll share my experience and motivation for creating a custom boilerplate, explaining the key considerations for what to include or leave out to maximize efficiency. Finally, we’ll explore how to use Packagist to install your boilerplate with a single command, simplifying integration and ensuring consistent setups across projects.*
