If you have ever felt that the process of moving a WordPress site from your development server to a remote server was less than ideal, then this talk is for you.
More often than not developers are still using tools like FTP, and phpMyAdmin to deploy their sites when there are far more efficient tools to accomplish the job in a fraction of the time.
In this talk I will show attendees a powerful method of deploying WordPress sites using Git, Rocketeer and other tools. I will walk through the basics of setting up both a local development environment and a remote linux environment. Next I will provide some tips on how to optionally setup the WordPress directory and config structure for better use in a multi developer/server environment. Then I will go over some Git basics and how we will be using Github and Rocketeer. Finally I will demonstrate how to setup and use Rocketeer to deploy the WordPress site to the remote server.
This talk is perfect for any WordPress developer who maintains more than a couple sites or for any agency that specializes in WordPress solutions that might be looking for ways to improve their deployment workflow.
