Version Control Explained
Posted by Ryan Baxter Sat, 06 Oct 2007 18:44:00 GMT
Kalid, from BetterExplained.com, has posted an excellent explanation of the hows and whys behind version control. The article takes an agnostic approach to versioning, but its examples will be more beneficial if Subversion is used. Kalid’s explanation also contains the definitions of words commonly used in the versioning nomenclature. I like this. You may read Kalid’s article and think, “Yeah, tell me something I don’t already know.”, but it is written in terms that your PHB (Pointy-Haired Boss) might understand. Spread the good word.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the mention! Yes, the article is geared for the newbie who's learning about version control for the first time. I find that most tutorials aren't very visual yet diagrams can help explain the concepts pretty easily.
Thanks again and glad you liked it,
