On Tuesday I have a short presentation on getting started with Subversion (SVN) to the local ColdFusion User Group of Central New York.

The presentation focused on the following key elements:

  • Learn about the client-server relationship with SVN
  • Learn about setting up a SVN server
  • Learn about the actions involved with using SVN
  • Learn about the tools and resources

Also presenting on Tuesday was Brian Caufield of Time Warner Cable, who have a nice introduction to source control.  Brian’s presentation got us all on the same page and ensured that everyone was familiar with the concepts and terms involved in source control.

I then followed Brian’s presentation with a specific implementation of source control, namely the open-source SVN.  After my presentation, Isaac Sunkes of Ravenglass Technologies showed us the Surround SCM software, and how they implemented it into their development practices.  Isaac’s demonstration was a great follow-up to the SVN presentation in that it allowed us to compare and contrast the capabilities and use of SVN with a commercial source-control system.  Thanks to Brian and Isaac for sharing their knowledge with the community, and we look forward to more presentations from both of them!
