   Thanks. It's funny, I actually started all of this NOT using Git. I wasn't until I was about 3 months into the Python Geocoder I mentioned about did i start to use Git!

    Thank you for the tip- still a bit confused (and maybe mixing up terms). If I wanted to keep the DB and App server on separate servers, would i leave them out in the open or house them in a private network?

    I came started reading this thread with the thought that the CEO was in the right. After reading many of the comments, I have to believe that both were in the wrong and this is the right way to go.

    I'm in a similar boat - for work I mostly use MSSQL/.net. For side projects I have been using Python/Flask which have not only been a blast to use but seem to be very flexible.
