Using Vagrant, Chef and Virtual Box in Your Development Environment
Virtual Box used in conjunction with Vagrant and a provisioning tool like chef or puppet, are a great set of tools to add to any PHP developers arsenal.These tools can be used so that all developers have the same development environment, and help to maximise dev/prod parity, which makes things like "it works on my machine" a thing of the past. I will talk about the advantages of these tools and provide enough detail and examples so that you can start using them in your everyday working environments.

About Jeremy
I'm a South African currently living and working in London for the past 5 and a half years. I have over 10 years experience building, deploying and maintaining web applications primarily on the Lamp stack. I have worked in many different sectors including internet hosting, agency, mobile and most recently charity. I am currently working as a PHP contractor for a well known charity on their Scalable Fundraising platform. When I'm not coding I enjoy fiddling with new technologies, traveling, watching Liverpool FC and a good bottle of wine.
