Are You Set Up? Creating a Basic Development Environment

Abstract

Have you ever experienced that moment when someone asks you to help out with a current website build, or to help start off a new project, and you realize you just aren’t set up to cope with it? If you’ve ever been caught in this situation, without even knowing where to start, this chapter will help. Although I’m not going to cover how to get you set up with every development environment, I will get you started with the most common. Knowing you have it all set up and working on your machine can give you the confidence you need to grab that new project by the horns.
