Setting Up A Solid Local Dev Environment
October 25, 2008
I recently gave a well received presentation about how to setup a great development environment on your workstation. Variations of this presentation were given at , BFusion 2008 (Bloomington, IN), (London, England), and the CFMeetup (online). As you can see I have been racking up the miles. Here is a description of the presentation:
Learn about how you can setup a local development environment that closely mimics your production system. In this session we will discuss how to setup a multiple instance install of ColdFusion with Apache virtual hosts along with a great combination of Eclipse plugins. Couple this setup with a test database powered by MySQL and a solid source code control system and you have a powerful development environment setup on your workstation. Finally, learn how to automate deployment with ant to make your setup consistence across all your team members' machines.
You can download the slides from the presentation or view the online recording from the CFMeetup Meetup.
