This is the setup I currently have - I have the MAMP stack installed locally on my MacBook Pro for quick-n-dirty testing, and use TextMate for editing. Unfortunately, there are some functions and binaries that just don't work on the Mac, and the Mac isn't my ultimate deployment platform, so I have several Linux VMs configured in Parallels (it's like VMWare if you don't already know). I deploy my code to those VMs for development and testing. It can be awfully handy to be able to create your own private mirror of a live server for testing purposes - and if you want to do something drastic to it that may trash it, just right click and copy the VM so you have a disposable VM you can trash :) You can also easily play about with different server architectures - load balancing, clustering, mysql replicas, memcached nodes, that kind of thing - that is providing that you have enough RAM to run all of your VMs concurrently. I've come to rely on it so much that just today I've decided to upgrade my MacBook to a 24" iMac with 4GB RAM - I have some VMs that need more than the 2GB the MacBook can offer (and a 24" screen is going to be gorgeous to develop with). Have I convinced everyone to rush out and buy a Mac? ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
