This week is version control. Today’s show is simple: Subversion Rocks. Check out why.

Download Why Subversion Rocks.

Show Notes

Check out Subversion for the command-line and the server installation. TortoiseSVN is an excellent Windows client that plugs into Windows Explorer. We use the Apache SSPI authentication module and apply it to our Subversion repositories. We’ve got the ViewCVS version pulled right from the CVS source to get Subversion support. It’s stable, and well worth the quick install.

Show Notes

Today’s show covered a few basic attributes important to using version control successfully with Java. The principles covered in Software Configuration Management Patterns are excellent. The two books from the Pragmatic Programmer Bookshelf, on Subversion and CVS, are excellent references to the tools that tightly weave excellent principles into the book. There’s also great free book for Subversion - it’s mainly a tool reference, but excellent.
