(mattsrebatespam) Every developer, whether working alone or within a group, should use a form of source control. It is an essential part of effective programming and collaboration. A popular source control system is Subversion. I have been developing with source control systems for a few years. I have found that there are some things they all do great; but there are usually a few things they all do not do so great. In my time one thing that I have found that they usually dont do so great at is communication. It is important to know if another developer has made a change to a region of code that could impact what you are working on. There are also other key players that are not developers that need to be kept in the know. While there is no substitution to direct communications, a solution to this that I have found is using RSS feeds to keep everyone updated. |
