Workflows and stuff you use.

[hargi]

Just interested to know you work flows.
I get things done, but I think I'm a bit behind the times, when CSS first started to come out I was like whats the point in that, its extra work. Why not use tables instead of divs. Any ways when I got into it I saw the real benefits of it.

Anyway's at the moment use Visual Studio2010 for database application I'm making.
But if i'm doing a website I just normally get some webspace and work directly on the web either by sublime and filezilla or the inbuilt cpanel editor.
I have used a LAMP xampp before but normally miss that out and do it online

I've noticed people on here talk about GIT, and VM's is there things I should be doing and using instead of the way im doing it now?

What do you do?

Cheers

I was impressed with VS2010 I had been doing a project with codeigniter and mysql. CodeIgniter was the first framework I had looked at and used it seamed to make things a lot easier then pure PHP but I got stuck. But the ease at which I could recreate it in Visual Studios I was amazed. Love the face that it creates view and that for you. Again this was my first MVC project.

I suppose I really should use version control but there is only me that works on the code, but it is a pain when something needs to be reverted back.

Is SASS worth it?

My goal is to start to do things properly or at least more how its done in industry.

Cheers all for the replys,
It was a broad question as, it's one of though I don't know what I don't know type of thing.
I'm happy with what I do.
I really need to get git working, that's the one thing I'd like to get sorted but didn't really understand it.
Phunky can you explane simply what I would use yeoman or grunt to do?
Cheers

OK Tripnoligist, Phunky.
After looking at those sites I'm still not sure what they do. I have not touched things like handlebars, node or coffeescript as yet. Would you recommend I look at them first before going into gulp and yeoman?
Looking at the site it looks like they do a lot of stuff which must be good for big projects.
For starting out what would be the first thing i would use them for?
