Version control software. Always use it. If the company doesn't want to use it, that's their [idiotic] prerogative, but there is no reason you can't with a local server.
Subversion is trivially easy to set up a repository whatever your OS (download and install free binaries). The cool kids are apparently using Git (I use Subversion) which doesn't need a repository, though my experience is that the GUI tools are rather lacking. In any case, version control shouldn't be a problem, even if it's just a personal setup. But really, if you're working somewhere that doesn't want to use version control it seems like finding a different place to work might be a good idea. There is a reason there are so many systems and it's a constant topic of discussion: it's REALLY important. If not even more important. cheers, barneyb On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 7:19 PM, fun and learning <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello All - > > Have any of you faced a situation where the place you work does not have a > version control software, and in that case what are the best way to maintain > code files on your development machine? > > Thanks. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
