You will probably want to set read_only = 1 in the my.cnf on the slave so
only super users can change tables. If you do partial replication, you must
be sure your developers do not cross-reference schemas where one is
replicated and the other is not. You will either get a replication error
telling you that something doesn't exist or you won't get any error, but the
slave may well get out of sync.
