[Vlaanderen] Source Control Made Easy (git)

[Chris Vertonghen]

Ik had het gisteren over een pragprog screencast waarbij in een klein
uur tijd een scm wordt gebouwd en uiteindelijk blijkt dat het al die
tijd over git ging. Heel leerrijk, en het verklaart vooral veel
waaroms.

Kost 10 USD, maar wegens thanksgiving geeft praprog de komende week op
alles 40% korting (gebruik coupon code PRAGTHANKS40) dus is het
slechts 6 USD. Meer dan z'n geld waard.

Source Control Made Easy (Jim Weirich)

Git has significantly changed the way teams develop software. Its
distributed nature and lightweight branching and merging have made it
possible for developers to massage their code bases in ways they
couldn’t have imagined before. However, Git has a reputation for being
hard to learn. And when folks transition to Git, they often settle for
using a handful of commands and treat Git just like their other source
control system. But because of its different approach to source
control issues, many of the techniques and terminology we have learned
in other source control systems do not translate cleanly when using
Git. To begin to use Git effectively, you need to understand the
underlying concepts.

In this 49-minute screencast you’ll learn Git in a different way: By
not learning about Git itself. Instead, Jim Weirich takes you on a
journey of how you might design and build a source control system from
scratch. Along the way you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the first
principles behind Git so things begin to make more sense.

This screencast is for people who haven’t used Git yet and are
thinking about it, and for people who have just started using Git, but
are still in the “magic incantation” stage of learning. It’s a great
introduction to source control for your manager, too! No prior
experience with Git or source control systems is required.
