  1. End "Works on My Machine" Surprises with Vagrant

    How many times have the following issues happened on a project you've worked on?

    • Notices (or worse) appeared on production because of a PHP version mismatch between a developer's machine and the production web servers.
    • A new PHP extension or PECL extension had to be installed on production because it was installed in WAMP or MAMP?
    • A team member ran into difficult setting up their local environment and spent many hours stuck on something.
    • Team members didn't set up SSL or Varnish on their local machines and issues had to be caught on a dev server.
    • A team member would like to switch to Homebrew, but can't set aside the many hours to redo their setup until a project is done.
