WordPress + Vagrant: Dev Like You Mean It (WordCamp Miami 2015)

You’ve been using MAMP, XAMPP, and friends for years to do your development work, but you can’t shake the sense that it’s a bit more difficult than it ought to be to re-use your work between projects and clients, let alone with team mates and other customers. There is a better way!

Come learn about what Vagrant is, how you can use it in your day-to-day workflow, how it can familiarize you with “scary” concepts like Linux, Nginx , and the command line, test out new technologies like HHVM and PHP 7, and how you can easily start using all the hard work others have done to make your life easier. When you’re all through, you may even find a few places that you can give back!
