John Faulds’ EE Dev Workflow
John Faulds wrote up the seven steps of his ExpressionEngine development workflow. It centers around using Git and localhosting, which is the smart way to develop (as opposed to directly on the server).
John also makes it easier to start new EE projects by creating a base install Git repository and just cloning it when starting a new project.
After using EE for a while, I’d also developed my own fairly streamlined system of doing things that had eliminated a lot of the repetition that is involved in setting up and installing EE from scratch every time you start a new project.
John uses similar tools that I do: Git, Tower and Beanstalk. In fact, all three help me manage and deploy this site and the site at Mijingo.com.
Definitely read the entire write-up (which is just part 1), as John as succinctly described a good workflow that should be easy for most people to replicate.
