• Joomla! debugging session as example, different tools in combination

Database design:

• From scratch vs. off the shelf, differences
• Hybrid model
• Think of the information before you go to the technology
• Documentation is extremely important, wiki, tracker

Website cost:

• Getting a sample invoice from a vendor
• Be very aggressive and specific details
• Use standard off the shelf items, custom has unforeseen costs
