I'm really hoping somebody with more experience can edit the question as per my examples of answers:

• using version control

• test driven development

• debugging code (xdebug for php)

• use of UML diagrams

• use of OOP for maintainable, reusable code

• use of frameworks (like Zend Framework for php) for rapplication application development

Anything else or an elaboration of what I mentioned above?

Basically, I'm in the middle of forming a team of developers (I'm a developer myself) and I'd like some advice on how professional programers/designers etc should work together and what standards/paradigms they should use.

Also, if anybody has any books or links on the subject I'd welcome that!
