Hello, again!

This week's topic is

Environment Management : It's a Thing!

ENVIRONMENT:

You're a software developer, right? And before you get started on a project, before you write line one, you need some kind of environment.

Source Control.

Okay, so, you're a software developer - I'm going to assume that you use source code control software, because the last programmer stubborn enough not to use source control died in 2008.

However, in the off-chance that you are too young or too old to know the gospel, I'm going to give a very brief overview of what you somehow managed to miss.

A project composed of code has three problems that source code is designed to solve.

History,
Collaboration,

@classam hey dude, we spoke yesterday about things I should know for developing... Any resources that are helpful for learning?

Hey, Stuart. Lots of resources. So many resources that I could talk for days about them. So I'm going to:

I got started with PHP - and a book called "Web Applications with PHP and MySQL" which is now starting to seriously show its age ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596005436.do ) - because deploying a PHP application is very, very easy. I'm not sure if I necessarily recommend it, because PHP is a total shit-show of a language, but it's an introduction to PHP, an introduction to MySQL, an introduction to getting those things to work together... a good way to get to the point where you can call yourself a web developer very quickly.
Get comfortable with the Linux command line. If you're in for a long read about user interfaces, command lines, Linux, and Windows, unpack and absorb this thing: http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html - but the extreme tl;dr of that

	Yeah, I know. I still think it might be useful.

	5 Crucial Usability Tips for App Designers and Developers
	----------------------------------

	Hey, everyone. I'm here to share some very simple
	usability guidelines with you for application development.

	By the end of this video, you should have a better understanding of how to
	design a UI that is intuitive and easy for your users to make sense of.

	Let's begin by examining one of the fundamental pieces of applications

	('PEND', 'Pending'),
	('PROM', 'Promoted'),
	('DENY', 'Denied'),
	('MEGADENY', 'Denied, and then made fun of, like, right to their face')
	)
