Presentation 1
Title: Launch Day Without Fear by Dan Menssen
Description: We've all deployed at least one website the old-fashioned way: upload some files to FTP and pray that nothing breaks. To find a better approach, we'll first talk about five major problems with this old-fashioned method and look at some tools available to help automate the process. Second, we'll walk through automating the deployment of a new project using Wordpress as an example framework, version control, and the Capistrano automation tool.
Presentation 2
Title: Understanding Composer by Jonathan Sundquist
Description: During the presentation we will look at what it takes to get composer installed on your machine, what a composer file looks like, and why you should be using it for your project. We will also briefly touch on how to work with composer and your github repository as well. Jonathan will also be doing a live demo of composer.
