What is interesting about your session Shlomy? Shlomy Gantz: If you want to know more about version control in general and specifically about setting up and using Subversion this session is for you. Version Control has long been a sore spot for many developers. Systems were either too complex to use and set up or incredibly expensive. Subversion is free and easy to install and use and as such is a perfect system for both beginner and advanced developers. MS: What exactly is version control and why would I want to use it? SG: "Management of multiple revisions of the same unit of information". Simply put, a version control system enables the developer to save multiple revisions of his/her code, rolling back to a previous version if necessary and much much more. MS: And if I don't use version control what can happen? SG: Well, has this ever happened to you? You change some code, The application breaks... You change the code back... The application is still broken ... What do you do? MS: Ouch! Ok now I remember why we use it at TeraTech! Are there any other benefits to using version control? SG: Of course, using version control enables you to more efficiently develop in parallel, manage different customized versions of your code etc... MS: So how do I get and install subversion? SG: You can come to my presentation and get step by step instructions :-) or go to http://subversion.tigris.org/ and follow the instructions. MS: Does it work with CF Studio, Dreamweaver or CFEclipse? SG: CF Studio and Dreamweaver have very basic version control integration, but some third party tools exist that integrate the two. The Eclipse platform has a few plug-ins that enable it to work seamlessly with subversion, and best of all, IT'S FREE. MS: So what is this Tortoise thing I keep hearing about when people mention subversion? Will you cover that too? SG: TortoiseSVN is a Free Subversion Client that uses allows you to perform Most Subversion operations directly from Windows Explorer, and YES , I will Definitely demonstrate using TortoiseSVN. MS: It was good to see you at CF-Underground Sunday. You can view this talk (or any other from CFUNITED-06 online at http://www.cfunited.com/ There are 60 videos to chose from. Each is an hour or more of content. The first one is free, the other 59 cost $200 for CFUNITED-06 attendees or $649 for non-attendees.
