A Day in the Life of a Developer
26 Apr
Its been a while since I have posted anything on BackendPro, mainly due to me having such a hectic last 2 weeks. But hopefully things will pick up from here.
I know quite a lot of people have downloaded BackendPro so far (400+) so I hope some of you are finding it helpful. Hopefully it will with this new bit of news get a little bit better. Currently I am developing it all locally, now the issue with this is any changes I make aren’t released until I upload a new version. I have wanted to make the SVN commits more public but never found a simple way which worked, I tried Google Code but that just failed in so many ways. Now with Assembla I think I have it sorted.
So from now on BackendPro’s development home will be here. So whats differen’t? Well you will be able to get the full project source out of SVN at any time. There is also a full issue tracking system to make sure bugs are reported and fixed.
I also hope to have a new version coming out soon which should implement some new features I have been meaning to put in. So take a gander and I hope you find the new development features helpful.

Hi Adam,
I’m having trouble installing Backend pro, I get an error message that says Unable to load the requested class: backendpro , I guess I have something uploaded to the wrong place, could you contact me to solve this?
I am also having a bit of trouble coding my website, I am seriously considering paying someone to help me and i liked what you did with Backend Pro, even though I haven’t been able to play with it… but I like the features, so if you are available to do some freelance work let me know, ok?
Thanks!
I’m not wanting to pull you too far off topic here (but I will… sorry). I’ve been hearing more and more about assembla. I’d be interested in a “real world” judgement of it now that you’ve been using it for a bit. What do you think? Like it?
Well I have tried many including unfuddle, and Launchpad. Now both were good but I found the features they provided where very complex.
Currently I am using Assembla just for project management, but what I love about it, is it has SVN and Trac combined (very powerful with handling tickets and linking SVN commits to tickets). It provides a lot of ‘optional’ tools like team mangment/chat/milestones etc.
Another huge factor I love about it is that I can have as many projects on one account as I want. Many of these ‘development websites’ only allow 1 project.
I would definitely advice giving it ago, there’s nothing to loose since the basic package is free.
I’m new to BackEndPro. Not to discredit the docs, there are several typos and as a noob I thought I might be able to supplement the docs as I go getting up and running, flushing out some of the finer lines a bit. To that end, if you’re interested I could somehow send you my modifications to the docs which you could dif/compare and commit or reject as you deemed appropriate.
@a&w: Thats fine by me, you can either create an SVN patch for the files changed, or send me the new contents. Ill send you an email with futher details.
