Read everything and everyday or you're out!?!?

I know I’ve made several articles on this subject but it’s something that is really important for me. Newsfeed reader give you technical strength and make yourself like a software that is up-to-date!

More to come about this website as it will be internationalized.

I’m pretty proud about this website as it’s my first one as an auto-entrepreneur. Thanks to my client who trust me all along the project !

Finally, this project will be added to my portfolio in a few weeks.

Long story short, now I’m more an project & account manager than a lead web project manager. Higher vision of all big projects going on within the company.

This come from Clockworkgeek user on a stackoverflow question. This is gold!

To do make the deployment process from staging to production seamless, I’ve created a WordPress bash deployment script to easily go from staging to production. Some of you will ask me about the development platform? To do so, we’ve used a service called DeployHQ that works pretty well. It fetch all the content of your SVN repository and push it straight to the FTP. The only tricky part was for the database. I know it wasn’t clean but I made the decision to work on the same database for the staging and development part.

If you have any suggestions about improving this script do not hesitate.

Please consider the following on our installation:

• W3 Total cache installed
• Multi-blog (one website and one blog in fact)
• Contact Form 7 used

UPDATE 03/02/2011 -1.1:

• Added a functionality to remove all file into the backup folder older than the specified number of days. Just set days_delete and it will delete all files older than days_delete days.
• Added security to stop script if an error goes wrong

Just set up a cronjob and you’re good to go.
