Slides from Last Night / Helpful Shell Script

[Brent Shaffer]

Hey everyone!  

If you missed the presentation last night, you can still view the presentation on slideshare.  

Also, I'm not sure if y'all do this as much as I do, but I'm constantly tailing symfony logs using "tail -f log/backend_dev.log | grep debug".  I add some messages in my application using sfContext::getInstance()->getLogger()->debug(); and then follow what's happening in my log file.

If you guys have a better way of debugging, let me know.  This way seems to work for me most of the time.

Anyway, I wrote a shell script called "logdebug" that takes the first argument as the application (frontend/backend etc) and the second option as an environment (dev, test) (defaults to dev).  Let me know if you find it useful.

Thanks again everyone who came out last night to the meetup and to Dog of Nashville afterwards.  It was a blast!
