Cloudy Management for Coding

After a tedious coding for my Robocode that took me days, I had learnt another tools called "Software Configuration Management" and "Project Hosting". Well, if you are a sole developer then you should skip this post. However, take in account that every software project to be successful has to be done in groups and the tool I have mentioned will make life easier for project management.

For this project, I used the "Google Project Housing" and the "TortoiseSVN". Subversions, like TortoiseSVN, helps to maintain current or old versions of coding files, web pages or documentation. It was my first time using some kind of Subversion to manage my Robocode project. It was pretty straightforward in which you can commit changes easily to the whole project at once instead going one file by file. I haven't explored any deeper the TortoiseSVN to check for any available features, but so far I haven't ran into any problems.

Google Project Hosting is like your cloudy place to share your project with any other person out there. I like cloudy stuff, but so far I think there are some flaws in this Project Hosting. First, its wikis markup can be annoying. It is just some minor things, but I think I am more comfortable using HTML. Then, there is the problem when you checked out the project, and committed some changes, there might be another person who did some changes already and uploaded to the Project Hosting. Then the files might be out of sync.

Overall, I think I found SVN as a useful tool for software development that will  help me a lot. Google Project Hosting is nicely formatted to do coding project management, but still there are some flaws, and some improvements need to be done.
