Workshop: Local development with full-site editing

Who is this session for?

Designer, Developer, QA

Session description

Long gone are the days of the wild wild web, where code slingers and data miners rule the landscape and customer facing websites go pear-shaped because a change was made to the live environment.  We have a ton of local development tools at our disposal for developing and testing changes made to our websites.

In this workshop we will discuss why local development is the least cowboy way of working with websites.  We will set up a few local development environments and discuss the pros and cons of each and how they can be used to make the process of pulling down, changing and pushing up content more streamlined with less breakage.

This will be an interactive workshop. Please bring a computer so you can participate fully in the workshop. We recommend having the following installed on your computer before hand

1. A web browser
2. NPM and Node
3. VS Code

Cowboy coders welcome!
