Big guns for the small guys: advanced development tools and processes for single developers (v2.0)
kurkuma
How can a single developer or a small team to compete in a market dominated by agencies and other bigger teams? What tools and processes are required or are useful for them?
A small team or a single developer is limited in the amount of time that can dedicate to development. I propose here a list of sensible options to optimize the development work for small teams and, most importantly, what not to do (which is certainly far more controversial).
The structure of the talk will be:
- Premises: assumptions for this advice to make sense
- Myths and truths: what you need and what you don't need
- Processes and techniques: simple processes to use in your everyday work and ways to plan and organize work
- Advice on testing and how to estimate the effort involved
- Drupal tools (mostly drush related)
- Other tools: CI, testing, backup, QA, PHP
