Pardon me if this question is not a good fit but i am unable to find relevant material. I have searched across the net and have found many answers but i still want to ask the question.
I am developing a Drupal 7.23 website. It will mostly use views. Not too heavy site. Now, can i host the site on github. We would be two people working on the project and so i thought of using Git. However i am unsure how to do this or if this can be done. hosting the drupal site, the db etc...Can you guide me on this or provide some links...i can carry it from there.
Apologies again if not the right place to ask this question.
GitHub pages could host only static pages, without any database backend.
And generally, GitHub is hosting service for software projects, which means it could help you store your code, but not for websites, because it will not run your code.

I'm trying to learn a few things about SharePoint and I would like to figure out what do I have to do to make my content available online so I can access it from my other computer in my work / home so I can add documents to it.
I did some research on how to set up websites on IIS and setting up my DNS host on Windows Server 2012 with some demo html files I've made. I tried to do research online with port forwarding but I can't find info clear enough for me to get the job done.
Could somebody maybe give me some direction on where to look and a checklist on what I need to complete this task? I feel like I'm shooting in the air trying to figure this out. I've never really dabbled in this before.
Here are some resources you might find useful in getting this setup. It's difficult to say exactly what you need to do without knowing what it is you've already done.
I haven't watched through the channel9 video but according to the description it includes how to setup internet facing sites in an on-premise environment.
Providing SharePoint is up and running, it should just be a case of configuring the Alternate Access Mappings for internet access, DNS and Port Forwarding.

The final guide to Alternate Access Mappings
i have a project with a friend and its about developing a website which will provide the users with some courses on certain topics.
And we were wondering on how we are going to be updating the lessons notes and posting new ones without any problem. And he said the cpanel provided by the host company will provided a means to post just like on blogs. So i doubted and i'll like to ask if it true or i'll have to code a new page for every topic on the site.
Please i'll appreciate if any one helps me with the truth or a guide on how to do it.
thanks...
A good starting point for you is to use github to host a code repository you start with git. If you use github, you can utilize github pages to host your content for free.
If you already have a hosting framework in mind like WAMP or heroku, let us know and we can provide more specific information on how to push your code up to your application depending on how you're hosting it. But the best starting point for you is to use some sort of version control and the leading version control option is git. You definitely never need to rewrite the same code all over again and version control is essential for managing updates to your code and collaborating with other developers.
I'm very new to YouTrack and tried using it on local host under Mac OSX. My first impression on it was really stuck and can't say in words how neat and elegant was the whole user interface. I'm really loving it now and would like to adapt the UI to electrical and electronics engineering projects along with the issue tracking. So far I'm already into the play and have found plenty of useful customisable features which I can turn them into the ones relevant to engineering stuff. Now I'm moving to some intermediate skill to change the UI and got some doubts to be clarified. Here are the list of queries I've got now.
I'm now trying it on local host under Mac OSX and its running fine without any issues. I would like to install and do online testing like hosting it under siteground or goddady and use custom domain/sub domain to access it. I mean so that I can give my team the online access.
I've came across other products like team city, upsource and hub. Could you please explain in brief on each?
I will be using it for 8-10 users now and is there any option to purchase access to custom logo, private projects and ssl without upgrading to more users.
Thank you.
What is a (free) technology which requires the least amount of code for creating a website with the following requirements:
Sign-up/login
Form for adding your personal info. which gets databased
Each person can view and edit their own info
Admin can view and edit any
The form needs to be easily customizable and extensible (by the website's owner, not during run-time)
Is there a beginner tutorial for such a thing?
(For me, this question is about a friend who wants me to do this, but I want him to do it himself so I don't have to get roped into maintenance. I also want to keep it more general for the sake of Stack Overflow and future readers.)
Edit: I thought I remembered some ASP.NET tutorials that were mostly drag/drop or things where it was all but made for you from the database schema (which can be made with SSMS's GUI) but I can't seem to find them now.
Responding to posts below requesting specifics: this site will be for potential clients to sign-up and enter their company's info and fill out a form about their advertising needs.
I thought about putting this on SU instead, but since there was likely going to be some coding involved (I assumed no-code was an unreachable goal) SO seemed more appropriate.
Your friend can consider a framework like drupal. It has a bit of a learning code but, you can create a website with everything you ask for without code. You may want to modify it to change the look but there are themes for that.
Also, some hosts like godaddy.com have this installed and you do not have to worry about the complex installation procedures. Just start modifying the content of the site, select a built in template and go...
PhpBB? I think you need to specify what the website is going to be used for before you can get better/more specific answers.
... have a look at Drupal or Joomla, expect a learning curve nevertheless.
Is this friend a programmer as well? If so, I'd suggest building such a site using a PHP framework. Deploying an existing forum/wiki is also an option of course, but will probably have much more features than you describe. But if s/he's not a programmer, I don't see how s/he will be able to develop a site like that in a reasonable amount of time.
Why not using a CMS like wordpress, drupal and co. ?
I am a junior developer and I have just graduated from university this year. I am working private with some people and I have just been given a music website to develop using DotNetNuke. I have a some experience using DotNetNuke which I have gained making small modules that take care of certain functionality on a webpages but I have never taken on a whole website before. I would love it if some one would give me some guidence on how to approach this project and answer some of my questions.
What are the steps involved in developing a dotnetnuke website?
How different is it from a developers perspective to develop a dotnetnuke cms website from a cms website which was developed from scratch?
When it comes to the database do you add tables to the database incrementally as you develop new functionality or do you plan everything in advance and create tables and stored procedures at once?
What are the steps involved in developing a dotnetnuke website?
Pick your version (if you're starting now, pick 5.1.1)
Installation (use Source package locally, Install package everywhere else)
Settings Configuration (performance, security, user info, etc.)
Adding & configuring core/third party modules
Adding & configuring third party skins
Custom Extension (typically module or provider) Development
Custom Skin Development
How different is it from a developers

cms website from a cms website which
was developed from scratch?
Very. When you're starting with an established CMS you're inheriting solutions to tons and tons of solved problems. In the case of DNN, you have a substantial framework at your disposal. The focus will be more on learning and leveraging the existing API/features. If you're starting from scratch you're providing that foundation yourself. Using an established CMS is not necessarily better than the other - it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you require fine-grained control over everything and you want a great learning experience, rolling your own may be the best way to go.
When it comes to the database do you
add tables to the database
incrementally as you develop new
functionality or do you plan
everything in advance and create
tables and stored procedures at once?
No matter what your project is, I'd suggest doing things as they are needed and not before. I think "doing everything in advance" would be impossible/horrible anyway. The heart of this question is really going to be defining your development process - I don't think this would necessarily be any different than in other projects. I like to define the features I want, organize them based on their relation to each other (which should come first due to dependencies, etc) and start implementing them one at a time and give each one the attention it needs.
You may also want to look into Lee Sykes' tutorials on module development using OpenWebStudio. However, I'm more on the design end, mainly just skinning, configuring, SE optimizing sites and matching client needs to our library of licensed 3rd party modules. However, the DNN community is VERY supportive and VERY helpful. There are some great resources out there, and I've found several blogs by the core development team to be essential for helping me wrap my head around the DNN framework.
Keep with it, and don't be scared to ask questions.
