I was just introduced to SVN or subversion and found the program to be very useful. SVN is a useful tool for working on big group projects. SVN allows for people working on a project to make small changes to the projects and commit the changes to a server for everyone to update. The SVN program that we were introduced to was TortoiseSVN. The good thing about TortoiseSVN is that when a person has to commit an updated version of a program, that person needs to have the most recent version. For example, if a person tries to commit an updated verison of a program to the server, but there was a newer version of the program commited, that person has to update to the newest version of the program then make the changes and commit to the server again. This may also be a negative for SVN since if there are many people making changes at the same time, there may be changes every few minutes or hours. Therefore a person could only be making small changes instead of making one big changes to the program.
I used google projects to host the project. It was very useful since it allowed me to put all of my files onto the server. Anyone who wants to download my files would be able to from the google server. I liked how google projects allows other people to have easy access to my files. When TortoiseSVN is used with Google Projects, any updates could be easily updated by checking out the most recent copy of the project.
