April 2015 ***Not Beginner*** Meetup

V for Virtualization

Vagrant and Varying Vagrant Vagrants ( VVV ) are great tools for any WordPress developer but getting up and running with them can be confusing and intimidating.This presentation will be a practical introduction to Vagrant, it’s concepts and commands and VVV, one of the most popular Vagrant configurations for WordPress. We’ll walk through installation and setup for Vagrant and VVV, discuss Vagrant concepts such as Provisioners and Boxes, introduce VVV’s features and talk about some other tools to speed up workflow.

Please note that while Vagrant and VVV are platform agnostic, this demo will be done on a Mac using the command line.

Presented by Ryan Welcher.  Ryan is a Web developer with over 10 years experience,  a web engineer at 10up and a WordPress core contributor.
