Ibuildings techPortal: Code and Release Management (DPC Podcast)
On the Ibuildings techPortal today there’s the latest episode (and the last) of their Dutch PHP Conference session recordings from the 2009 conference – Eli White‘s “Code and Release Management” presentation.
Programmers seem to have a fairly good grasp on ‘how to write code’, but not always what to do with it once it’s been written. This talk with delve into details about how to manage your codebase, and how to manage releases (often intertwined). It will cover topics of coding standards and focus heavily on how you choose to use versioning tools to handle your development and release processes. It will have a distinct Subversion(SVN) flavor to the talk, but the concepts will not be specific to SVN.
