Version Control

5.7.04

My friend Choi has trouble with keeping his source code version recently, as his files are often replaced with older version(s) by other colleagues in different office. So I sacrifice my TV time tonight to try Team Coherence which is a version control system by QSC. I have no experience in using any version control systems in software development before, as usually I have to develop a whole one (well...the only reason is my projects are not very complicated).

Have you used Team Coherence before? Any comments on it?
Or any other choices my friend can consider?


Comments:
TeamCoherence is great. One great feature is you can access it via the Internet. A version control system is very important, especially in a multi-developer environment.

As far as TeanCoherence compared to other version control tools - it supports the really useful, valuable features, without a lot of the complicated stuff you don't need often. If you are coming from another versioning control system then you may notice some things you cannot do, but if you are coming from no-versioning control system then you should be really happy with it.

I have used TeamCoherence, Visual Source Safe, CVS, Rational's Source Control and a couple other ones. TeamCoherence is the easiest.

Also, TeamCoherence is written in Delphi and has much more affordable licensing.

Thanks, Robert!
As I use D6 mostly, I have no chance to try StarTeam yet. Is it only for Delphi files?
