Organization as a developer

As a developer, the more organized you are, the greater the ability you will have to build large systems. When you start working with Sharepoint, PHP framework projects, and any LAMP projects with over 100 tables in the database, you can't afford not to be organized.

What I do for organizing myself:

  1. Have a developer sandbox:

I always have a local developer sandbox with the project requirements I need setup. By using wampserver which comes prepackaged with PHP, MySQL and Apache, I can quickly setup web development projects and have fun with experimenting different codes.

  1. Save everything and time stamp it:

I don't trust "Date modified" timestamp, so I use Git (or Subversion if you like) to save everything. It's great for code comparison and you won't get lost in tons of code.
