For situations where you have "1 application, 1 developer" People almost
always develop on their local machine. Now, as far as how that gets to the
server, it depends on the person and their companies practices. Where I
work, we HAVE to create installation packages for everything, although we
really wish we could just do a straight file copy.
In a group environment, it can change a little. MSoft wrot an article you
might want to scan the looks at some pros and cons -

I am abvioulsy new to this and I need to ask a basic question.
What is the orthodox way or the normal or expected way that a web app is
written? Do you usually write it using localhost and the copy the
application to the web, or is it considered normal practice to write
directly to the web ( to your domain name) and the copy that to local host
for backup?
