Topic: Coding with a Team<\/h1>\n

Peter Chester<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the most interesting presentations I attended at Wordcamp Sacramento, that was a little over my head, was on coding workflow.<\/p>\n

Peter Chester from Modern Tribe gave a great presentation on how to structure a workflow where multiple WordPress Developers can build the same website. This is ideal for large scale web implementations.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the takeaways I got from Peter’s presentation:<\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Move to a more structured workflow over time<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is natural for solo WordPress Developers to start off with an unstructured workflow. As they begin to work with other developers over time, they often develop and refine stronger, tighter workflows.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Code for your future self<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      When hand coding PHP or any computer language, it’s a good idea to document or add comments in your code so that others can figure out the purpose of a particular section of code.<\/p>\n

      In a former life, I had the opportunity to write business requirements documentation for programmers. I have written some computer code over the years, mostly using database reporting tools.<\/p>\n

      I understand the need to create your code in a way for you to understand in the future what you trying to accomplish. It’s a best practice. And others should be able to understand it too.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Do code reviews<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When working on a team, it’s a good idea to have other developers review your code.<\/p>\n

        The benefits are consistency, quality and learning.<\/p>\n

        Peter also went into extensive detail on implementing Development, Staging, and Production environments.<\/p>\n

        It’s nice to know you can model best practices that are used in the mainframe computer environment.<\/p>\n

        While I didn\u2019t understand everything I heard, it did expand my knowledge and open the door to what’s possible as a WordPress Developer.<\/p>\n

        Topic Description: Coding with a Team<\/h1>\n

        As Modern Tribe has grown from a small team to a team of nearly 50<\/p>\n

        people, we have had to adopt a bit more organization in our workflows.<\/p>\n

        One thing that we\u2019ve been working on recently is refining our code<\/p>\n

        sharing, review and deployment practices. In this session, I\u2019ll share a workflow for collaborating with your team. Using this workflow, you will reduce delays, bugs and improve the technical skills of your colleagues.<\/p>\n
