Version controlling with Subversion By Mursil Sayed
Workshop details • 4 sessions each of 90 min duration • 2 sessions on Version controlling • 2 sessions on Object Oriented Design
Value • Mandatory tool for collaboration especially in your final year project • Will help you to differentiate yourself from the crowd by adding value to your CV
Target Audience • Undergraduate students who are passionate about software development. • Project group members involved in Final year projects.
Assumptions • Focus on getting hands on experience and interaction. • Requires at least 4-6 hours of practice per week
Version Controlling • When and why to go for version controlling? • Version control/Revision control/ source control? • How can version controlling help you in your academic projects? • Working copy vs. repository • Save all revisions or states of a project so that previous revisions can be restored • Single users vs. Multiple users

Features of Subversion • Revisions • Comparing Revisions • Restoring to previous Revision • Atomic commits.
Features of Subversion Continued.. • Multiple checkouts. • Differential saving of both text and binary data • Efficient Tagging, branching and managing multiple branches of development • Efficient merging
How subversion works? • Secure mode : Accessing subversion repository hosted on a subversion server via subversion client • Fast mode: Directly accessing subversion repository via subversion client
