DNN Source Code (Needed?) and Deployment (How?)

Question

Do we need the source code if we will primarily create (advanced) modules and occasionally modify the theme?
How does DNN get deployed from Teamcity / Octopus Deploy?

No, you don't need the source code to create modules. Or occasionally modify the theme. — austin wernli, May 19 '15 at 16:06

Your modules, and "skins" should be individual projects, and you should deploy those to production using Packaged ZIP files. That's the proper way to develop/deploy extensions for DNN

If View.ascx is in Proj1.csproj, how do you include View.ascx in the Website Project >DesktopModules folder and test locally? – Ori Samara May 19 '15 at 16:52
Secondly, do you have any insight as to deployment using Octopus? – Ori Samara May 19 '15 at 16:53
I answered a number of your other questions on the other thread, also about deployment. – Chris Hammond May 19 '15 at 17:54
