Developer Primer

From LSWiki

This page is documentation for new developers. If you edit this page please try to keep it to a minimum. Insofar as is possible it should not be overwhelming. These are the bare essentials needed to do two main things: (1) get comfortable as a developer--there are a lot of new commands and possibilities that should be learned right at the start, and (2) to get up and running development-wise, i.e. to start looking at examples of code and manipulating ones own objects. Advice on thematic/conceptual considerations, specific coding dos-and-don'ts, rules and expected behavior--all that should go elsewhere.

Some of this material may be old hat for those who have past experience with command line interfaces, FTP, or coding.
