In two months I will be speaking at EECI 2011 along with some really awesome people. I have more notes compiled than I can share in the small amount of time we will have together. That in mind, I would like you to help shape the presentation by filling out a brief survey. Care to join me?

The Topic

I will be talking about the use of version control systems and multiple environments within the context of websites and ExpressionEngine. Here is the gist:

Environments & Version Control: The Why and How

There seems to have been a good bit of discussion about environments and version control lately. To those who haven’t entered this world it is a huge cloud of confusion. “Why spend the extra time with environments and database problems?” For those just diving in it sounds more like, “Why did I even make this decision? Can I have my life and sanity back?” Then you have the multi-environment veterans saying, “Why the heck aren’t you doing this?”

In this talk we will look at the pros and cons to having your EE sites in multiple environments and under version control. Going one step further, we will talk about setting up your site in version control with the multiple environment aspect in mind. By the end of the presentation, participants will be equipped with knowledge on how to move forward and what to expect. This presentation is geared towards experienced EE developers but the principles can apply to anyone working in web development.

I would love to have your input on your experience and what you would like to learn in the presentation. If you're up for it, lend me a few minutes and fill out this survey.

Thanks!
