SVN comes first :D

What does SVN stand for? Well SVN or SUBVERSION is one of the new web technologies that help us programmers ( or wannabe programmers :)) ) to keep track of their work. My favorite such client is called TortoiseSVN . Why i use it? well because it's users friendly , and Microsoft Windows compatible , so for most of you out there that still use Windows , this software would be the best choice :D. Another good thing about Tortoise is that it's freeware , so you don't have to pay anything to use it.

Just under this message you can see a screenshot of how TortoiseSVN will look after you install it on your computer.As you can probably see there are many feature in this software. Another good thing to know is that you only need to create a folder somewhere on your computer and right click it to start Tortoise. After you right click you will see the first important option called SVN Checkout , when you click that option you will have to select a link to your project and with the help of good old Google that won't be a problem . Go to the following website http://code.google.com/ create a new project and be sure to select SVN as version control. After you enter the link in the SVN Checkout option you will see that a connection will be made with your project on Google. Simple as that isn't it? What more you need to know is how to upload files on your project link , another simple thing . Select Repo-Browser and just drag and drop the files :D and your done.

But of course to start all this you must first have tortoise so i'll post some links from where to download it. Keep safe and don't forget to check this page for updates :D
