SVN

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:49:29

Good morning. This is the first year I've used software versioning to managed application development projects. And I must admit, it's the best piece of technology I've ever came across. I mean, ever. In a nutshell it allows you to develop your application from any machine in the world and always be sure you've got the latest files to work with. Once you've finished making changes, you 'check in' your work and the SVN server records the changes and increments the version.

I could go on for hours about SVN features and benefits but I wont, I'll just say this. Even if you're a sole developer, investigate and implement SVN, it will make your job ten times easier.

Cheers
Ryan Partington
