As a "shortcut" before resorting to version control software which
requires a bit of setup/management I've used a tool called "Beyond Compare"
for a few years. In an environment of 2 developers you can get by using this
tool. Using your own development environment when you make changes and want
to implement those changes to a dev or production server, it will show you a
list of differences in the files. Just never allow complete file uploads to
overwrite existing pages. Always use Beyond Compare and it opens the 2
different versions of files with differences highlighted. Only copy the
changes you made to the desired server. It works through network and FTP. I
think it's only around $40

Subject: Version Management Inquiry
Group:
On one of my projects I am working with a fellow coldfusion developer and I
am wondering how other small groups deal with the item of 2 or so
developers working on the same overall project. How does these small groups
make sure that files with changes do not get overwritten and have work
losts. At the present time, we are just communicating and blocking out time
where we will not be in a specific file or directory so the changes made
will not be lost or overwritten?
Ideas?
