I've been dipping my toe into web development technologies for fun (ya, i should get out more), and am a little shocked at the lack of clear support for production staging (i.e. development, testing, performance, and production environments). Actually support isn't the word; Content Management Systems seem to actively work against effort...
My app is in development and I do all my testing using WEBrick (I like the terminal output). On the production server it will run on Phusion Passenger. I'm running Snow Leopard and wish to test the app in an environment similar to the production environment. Can I use Parallels to run a Debian install with Apache and Passenger and con...
What would you guys recommend as good references for setting up a testing server (xampp on xp pro), a staging server and a production server while also having svn?

Hello, This is regarding my developmnent stage and the practice of testing all the JS before releasing it. Unfortunatly we have some hardcoded references in our code. and this is the reason why there is no way for me to test a new version of test.js on the Stage server. and you only see the effects when it goes live. Now, I know I sho...
Hi, I've read a number of topics in the same sort of ballpark as this one, but in all honesty I'm still not exactly sure on the best approach (as a starting point). I am a solo developer in a small office and I have around 30 websites which are hosted on a linux VPS. I want to start using using version control (probably SVN) and also set...

I've created a lot of PHP projects in the past based on quick 'make a change, upload it' development methodology. I'm beginning a long (6-8 months estimate) project to provide a fairly full featured hosted web application.

Imagine that we have a sophisticated asp.net solution: MSSQL + ASP.NET MVC + ASP.NET Web Forms + WCF Service hosted in IIS. Once a week the solution must be deployed to a single production server transparently for the users. The deployment can include changes in database scheme, minor IIS reconfiguration, replacement of files. The deplo...

I just created a big piece of code I want to commit in several separate commits. So I can stage relevant parts, commit, stage, commit, ... and so on until I have all my changes commited. The missing part is how can I test whether I split the commit correcty. I.e. whether the part that is in staging area at least compiles? To do that I ...
