Heading

Never in all their history have men been able truly to conceive of the world as one: a single sphere, a globe, having the qualities of a globe, a round earth in which all the directions eventually meet, in which there is no center because every point, or none, is center — an equal earth which all men occupy as equals.

Development Environment Overview

This development environment is designed to allow vendors and internal developers to create, test, and refine assets for PPSC without impacting the live production site. All development files are stored in the /_dev directory and are publicly accessible for testing and review.

Directory Structure

/_dev/css/styles.css – Development-only stylesheet
/_dev/script/scripts.js – Development-only JavaScript file
/_dev/ – Root directory containing additional subfolders as needed

File Loading Locations

The development environment uses relative paths to load assets into the page:

<headcode>
    <!-- before closing head tag -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/styles.css">
</headcode>

<bodycode>
    <!-- after opening body tag -->
</bodycode>

<footcode>
    <!-- before closing body tag -->
    <script src="./script/scripts.js"></script>
</footcode>

Purpose of Development Files

styles.css Contains development-focused styling that loads before the site's header code. Used for testing layout adjustments, temporary overrides, and rapid UI prototyping.
scripts.js This file loads just before the closing </body> tag and is used for testing custom JavaScript functionality without touching production scripts.

Notes for Developers

All assets in /_dev are temporary and should not be used in production.
Ensure all development files are clearly labeled and documented.
Remove or migrate finalized work into proper production directories.
Search engines will not index this directory.
