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.

Speed Up and Version Your Views
Since getting started with Drupal over two years ago, the sites I’ve built with it have naturally gotten bigger and bigger in scope. As your sites get bigger and bigger, you always look for ways to keep your site running as smoothly as possible, and this usually ends up meaning getting rid of queries wherever you can.
One feature of Views which is often used by module developers is the ability of a module to expose a set of default views. The calendar module, for example, provides a default calendar view in both its Drupal 5 and 6 versions. This is an obvious asset for developers of contributed modules: if your module interfaces with Views, it makes sense to provide a default view that users can modify.

We're Ramping Up for DrupalCon in DC!
We're proud to announce that Tree House Agency is a gold sponsor of the upcoming Washington, D.C., DrupalCon in 2009. We've been working to steadily increase our involvement in sponsoring Drupal community events, from being a Bronze sponsor of DrupalCon Barcelona con to a Silver sponsor of DrupalCon Boston, and now being a gold sponsor of both Do It With Drupal and the Washington, D.C. DrupalCon.
My name is Steven Merrill, and I'm the newest developer on board with Tree House Agency. I initially met Tree House at DrupalCon Boston, so I'll be introducing our plans for the Washington, D.C. DrupalCon. Since DrupalCon Boston, we've done quite a bit, and a lot of that will be reflecting in what we talk about in Washington, D.C.
