As good developers we keep our code as standard compliant as possible to help in porting between platforms. But what tools are available that help us build the code in a uniform way across multiple platforms. *nix family has make but Windows needs nmake. I have read about SCons but never used it in anger. What is your favorite build to...
Hi, Does anyone manage to bootstrap its development area using paver with python 2.6 ? I have install python 2.6, install paver with easy_install-2.6, everything looks fine. But when I try to launch the bootstrap method it raises an urllib2.HTTPError (: HTTP Error 404: Not Found) while trying to download http://pypi.python.org/packages...
What are the pro/cons of doing web development on your local machine rather than on a centralized development server? For those that do dev on your local machine, how do you keep an updated db architecture for local development when multiple developers are involved? In particular, I'm currently experimenting with XAMPP for PHP and was c...
I am working in Visual Studio 2008 on an ASP.Net application, which has been deployed to a test server. I would like to make a build without debug information to place in production, but the configuration manger only shows "Debug" in the configuration dropdown for my project. My other VS projects show "Debug", "Release", "New...", and ...
I am trying to put a requirement together for a new environment to consist of TeamCity running of Sql Server, a couple of build agents (for now) and an SVN repository. There are 6 developers and there will be 5 active solutions partaking in the CI process for now which will obviously grow over time. None of the solutions take >10 minut...
According to an earlier question about Visual Studio configurations, there's no way to use Visual Studio's configuration manager to create different configurations for an ASP.net web site project. For normal projects, we have #if directives that switch certain server or database variables depending on whether we're debugging or in pro...
For one client, I have to deliver a build they use in QA and production. The checksum of the build file has to match - it cannot change at all between QA and production. The configuration for each environment is different, so I have a build that contains just the code and then a separate build for each environment that contains just th...
From a Windows command line, I'd like to be able to publish to an RSS feed. I visualize something like this: rsspub @builds "Build completed without errors." Then, someone could go to my computer: http://xp64-Matt:9090/builds/rss.xml And there'd be a new entry with the date and time and the simple text "Build completed without erro...
I'm trying to figure out the best way to stitch together a fast, repeatable, unbreakable build process for the following environment. I've got a plan for how to do it, but I'd really appreciate a critique. (I'd also appreciate some sample code, but more on that later) Ecosystem - Logical: Website - asp.net MVC 2, .net 3.5, Visual St...

I do most of my programming in Python 3.x on Windows 7, but now I need to use the Python Imaging Library (PIL), ImageMagick, and wxPython, all of which require Python 2.x. Can I have both Python 2.x and Python 3.x installed in Windows 7? When I run a script, how would I "choose" which version of Python should run it? Will the aforementi...
