local development

So you've played around with some Drupal and are ready to put a site online. How should you host it? What do you need to know to get it set up? How will you keep it up to date and safely backed up?

This session will cover the basics of local development environments, domain names, hosting, the command line, MYSQL dumps and uploads, cron, Drush, backing up, and revision control. After this session you should have an idea of what it takes to get your site live...and keep it from being dead!
