r/webdev_workflows

Hi everyone, below you will find a link to part one of this tutorial series. I am working a better way to host the material (probably will go with github pages) but for now I have it setup as a normal repository on github so you don't have to wait on that.

Part 1 - Getting started with Virtual Machines

I will be making an accompanying screencast for this tutorial but I want to wait until I get feedback on the written version first because it's much easier to edit text than video.

Please feel free to discuss the material or ask any questions here in the comment section. I will be involved and answer as many questions as I have time fo

My goal for this "course" is to show you how to integrate popular technologies such as Vagrant, Ansible, Gulp, Git, ngrok etc... into your workflow and how to setup your local environment so that it matches your deployment environment as closely as possible (it's impossible to get it exactly the same since it will be running on separate hardware but we can get it really close).

I would also like to show you how to use the same configuration you already have to deploy to a production environment. Again, since every app is different, we will be focusing on the overall p

Hey everyone, thanks for your patience as I get the first tutorial ready. r/wurdan is helping me review the first draft of tutorial 1. I'll start recording the first screencast shortly thereafter.

I will probably just go ahead and release the written tutorial portion first so you guys can dive in while I'm making the screencast. I anticipate releasing that within the next 24 - 48 hours.

Thanks again everyone and I look forward to getting your feedback once we get started!

Took a bit longer than expected but I have part 2 ready:

As always, let me know if you have any questions/critiques and I'll be happy to help!

I am currently working on part 2 of the series. I have decided to wait to do screencasts until after I have completed the written parts. It's a lot more work to make the screencasts and I can get through the written ones relatively quickly.

Also, I'd like to get some more feedback on the series in general so I can make the videos as clear and to the point as possible. Plus, I have a very generous offer from a redditor to do the video editing and I'd like not to run him ragged with a bunch of updates :)

I'm not sure exactly how many of these there will be but i'm guess at least 2 more after this one.

Let me know what you thought of the first one and if there was anything confusing or that

Hope everyone has had a great holiday season. It was a very busy one for me!

Just a quick update, I'm putting the finishing touches on part 2 and should have it posted by the end of the week.

Hi everyone,

I'll be working on the next couple of tutorials soon, I just need to catch up on some other projects first.

Stay tuned.

Hashicorp just announced Vagrant 1.8. Comes with some nifty new features you can read about here:

I'll try to incorporate some of these into the tutorial.
