Tony,
Amazing and thanks for that though I must admit I had trouble keeping at
all the
info being thrown on to the screen.
[In reference to the webcast mentioned in a former note and found here: http://www.sohodojo.biz/sqlyog]... Thanks back for the comment. :-) The contest had a "soft limit" of around 5 minutes for the testimonials and most were "throw-away" quickie-comments folks did to just get in the contest drawing. I actually did want to do a real testimonial as SQLyog is truly one of the must-have apps that I use to make my development life more efficient and organized.
Even with significant time-compression (fast motion) on the "live action" segments and diligent editing (Camtasia is _amazing_ and fun), I was only able to get my entry down to just over seven minutes.
So, yes, there is a bit of "drinking from a fire-hose" dimension to that webcast. The pause and rewind button can be your friend in this case... :-) Perhaps, now that the contest is over, I'll do a "Director's Cut" version to provide a more relaxed presentation.
And finally, so that folks don't think I am trying to push an agenda about using SQLyog which is a commercial app (although they do kindly provide a more-limited free version)... The strategy and tactics I describe in my webcast are _ideas_ and recommendations about how one might organize and manage a daily workflow with a dev/live Drupal site. While some of the fine-grained tactics might be more conveniently done with SQLyog, the 'big ideas' and most of the step-wise tactics are not dependent on that application. You can take these ideas and apply them with any toolset you might like. (Hint/nudge-nudge-wink-wink: I'm thinking that a drush script along these lines might be an awesome addition to our community if somebody wants to scratch that itch based on my webcast as a 'live use case' spec.)
