Here are some of the things I might talk about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Developing locally using MAMP instead of working on a live or staging server<\/li>\n<li>Using version control, even when I&#8217;m working by myself on a project. Now every project I create has its own Git repository<\/li>\n<li>Using a custom starter theme instead of starting from scratch every time<\/li>\n<li>Using Sass instead of plain old CSS<\/li>\n<li>Using Gulp (and before that, CodeKit) to run tasks that I had to do manually before (e.g. image compression, CSS\/JS concatenation and minification, JS linting, and, of course, live reloading)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This talk would definitely be most useful for people who are already WordPress developers.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote a couple of blog posts on the topic of developing locally, which can give you an idea of some of the things I might talk about:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/daraskolnick.com\/developer-tip-tuesday-always-develop-locally\/\">http:\/\/daraskolnick.com\/developer-tip-tuesday-always-develop-locally\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/daraskolnick.com\/developer-tip-tuesday-always-develop-locally-part-2\/\">http:\/\/daraskolnick.com\/developer-tip-tuesday-always-develop-locally-part-2\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n<p>I think what participants would learn is already covered above.
