In preparation for tomorrow night's Baltimore Drupal Meetup I've been thinking of different topics to address. By putting some out beforehand I hope to stir up some ideas and best practices for discussion.
- Version Control: Following the rest of the Drupal community we've been moving to GIT. GIT makes branching a lot easier. With larger projects our releases are organized into sprints. This means a release every two weeks. How do you leverage branches to manage releases?
- Configuration Management: This is always a hot topic. In Drupal all your configurations are trapped in the database where they can't be put under version control and synchronizing between different environments is next to impossible. Features can get you 80% there. How do you use features? What do you do for the other 20%?
- Data Management: We worked on a site with IBM where someone had set up a database backup to GIT every hour. Brilliant! This way when you do a GIT pull you get all the file updates AND the database. A quick drush bam-restore and viola! You're in synch. How do you use the backup and migrate module?
- IDEs: I use Eclipse to edit code. Though there are many times (usually when I'm staring at an hourglass) I'm tempted to just use emacs or vi. How do you get the most out of Eclipse? Do you use a Php Debugger? Any favorite Eclipse plugins? Do you use some other IDE?
- Testing: A while back @greggersh showed me cucumber. It's brilliant. Write your test in plain language before you write code and you got your use cases and testing scripts. But if you're writing test scripts for Drupal chances are you're using SimpleTest. Do you use automated testing? If so what?
- Drush: If you're not using this amazing command line tool now you will be. How do you use drush?
So there's a few topics to chew on before getting together at Bertha's tomorrow for the meetup. We won't have enough time to cover it all but I know we'll all learn a bunch. I'll be sure to follow up on this post with some answers to the topics I've laid out.
