Every time a new developer joins to the team, or the computer a developer using changes, developer needs to do lots of work to setup the local development environmentto make the current project working. As a SCRUM team we are trying to automate everything including deployment and tests so what I am asking is: is there a tool or a practic...
My team's current project involves re-writing retrieval libraries in JavaScript. We are basically looking for a setup which enables us to apply test-driven development methods. So far we plan to use Vim to write the code, no fancy IDE. For generating output we would use Spidermonkey's shell environment. JSLint could serve as a moderate ...
If we have 3 developers working on the same Biztalk project what is the best way to set up our development environment? We are using TFS to store the Biztalk project. Should we use 1 sql server and 1 Biztalk server and then have 1 or more developer machines that access the sql and biztalk servers? The issue we get with this is when 1 ...

So far I can think of: A continuous integration build server, like luntbuild or cruise controll Source control A bug tracker/process tracker A copy of all the artifacts you have on production What about: An IDE and remote desktop? (Although personally I think IDE'...

I am running Windows 7 RC Build 7100 in VMWare 6.5. The host OS is Vista x64 Home Premium running on a Dell Studio 1535 laptop. I have a Dell monitor attached as a secondary monitor, and I am attempting to share the desktop across both monitors. While I can do that, Windows 7 insists on using the external monitor as the main display, a...
I've just joined a small team of developers and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way each developer sets up their development environment or how they use version control (currently Source Safe). I made the "mistake" of asking a question about their standard practices. To keep a long story short, this earned me the tas...
After trying and failing to get my hands on a temporary Mac to develop an iPhone app for a client, I've started to look into VMware Workstation to virtualize OS X. I was wondering if there are any gotchas that people have found, or if the whole thing is unworkable. For the record, I have an old stripey-Apple logo I pried off my old A...
In the past, I used WAMPserver on windows to parse PHP for me. This is a pre-configured package, focussed on working with MySQL. When I tried to run PostgreSQL, I got error messages that said that my version of PHP wasn't compiled to work with PostgreSQL. So, I've recently uninstalled WAMP and every associated with it. I've downloaded ...
Can any one recommend a good all-in-one web development tool for Windows. Something on par with Coda (Mac OS X)? ...
So while we're using foreign keys in our current project, I've heard the argument before that enabling foreign key checking within a development environment simply puts roadblocks in front of developers - code should not rely on foreign keys being in place. I was wondering what people thought about this idea - when developing, do you ke...

Note: I have reinstalled all trivial applications on my D: drive, and have cleared as much space as possible on the C: drive. Due to the fact t...
Our company has recently decided that a good section of our IT department is actually doing product development and not internal IT development and now has created a new department. What are the types of changes that developers should be looking to make during this type of transition? Is there really any difference between internal d...
I was messing around with my toolbars and menus in Visual Studio 08. I noticed that they were behaving strangely. When I closed the "Customize" dialog, my 'Tools' and 'Help' menu were gone (perhaps more, I can't remember what else was there). I don't want to reset everything, as I have been curtailing the VS environment to my exact li...

I want to gain some insight into common Erlang uses past telecomms, and any problems or unexpected benefits Erlang brought during development/deployment.

Hello Everyone. Been learning Erlang, which brought the following question to mind: What do SO users consider an under-appreciated language/platform ... and what are their reasons? Semantics, Syntax, Usability, Deployability, Scalability ... whatever. Which language/platform do you think should be more widely deployed, developed, or m...
