A Proper Environment for Web Development?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-sane-and-careful-way-to-code dept.

umdenken wonders: "I'd like to know how others on Slashdot do their server-side web programming. We have dozens of Perl CGI scripts, and are currently doing development by editing these production scripts in place on the web server (!). Our sysadmins have finally installed an SVN client on the server (Solaris), and have offered to create a new virtual host that we can use as the development server. What are some of the practices you use for organizing this kind of set up?"

    ...but if you're not already in this sort of environment and someone sort of dumps the problem in your lap, what are you supposed to do?

    Tell your boss he should have hired someone experienced, rather than some "wet behind the ears" kid? :-)
