When I first got started programming, I had no idea that Subversion could be so helpful. I figured that version control was complicated and only useful for teams of developers. Boy was I wrong.

Subversion has saved my skin (or at least my applications) a couple of times now. Even if you’re a single developer, having the ability to version control your code is invaluable. And if you’re team-coding, there is absolutely no other option.

So how do you get started with Subversion? No worries. Naturally, there is a good book to help you. Mike Mason’s book Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion takes you through the basics all the way up to advanced Subversion concepts.

    Hm, that is not really a review just a pointer to the book. I was hoping for some information about what you thought of the book.

    Hmm... You caught me. I probably should call it a "Tip" instead of a "Review".

    Hmm, I haven't used Subversion before; really haven't had the need till now. Gotta love the Pragmatic Programmers. They have great books.
