   team development tool
  Hi all,What team programming tools you recommend? i mean tools which allow different programmers to work on the same project.thw in advance
  What exactly would the tool you want do?  If you want source control, I would go with Visual Source Safe, I use that and its great!Jeff. ;quote:Original post by webjeff  If you want source control, I would go with Visual Source Safe, I use that and its great!"Visual SourceSafe?  It would be safer to print out all your code, run it through a shredder, and set it on fire." -- Microsoft employee   --AnkhSVN - A Visual Studio .NET Addin for the Subversion version control system.[Project site] [Blog] [RSS] [Browse the source] [IRC channel] ;  YEA RIGHT!!!  No one believes that edited text.  I can tell that from a mile away.  wooooo, that stunk up the room.Jeff ;  I recommend ANY source code control software, EXCEPT Visual Source Safe (which I have used at 2 places of employment, with significant shortcommings both times) ...My best work setup has been using CVS (managed by the standard web server sysadmin, so the slightly confusing (for a windows person) setup was no big deal ...Day to day usage of CVS is absolutely great ... as longs as you don''t need the few features it can''t offer ... such as moving files to different patsh while retaining intelligent history ... and atomic checkins ...if you need those files, a more advanced version control is neccesary ... i don''t know which ones are good, but here''s a list of other systems:Perforce, BitKeeper, SubVersion, SVN, StarTeam ;  Even though everyone knocks it, I've never had many problems with Sourcesafe. It also comes with VS.NET (I think) and it integrates with that IDE very well.  Perforce also has some VS.NET integration, although I'm not sure if there is a plugin for CVS.  For games, NxN Alienbrain is supposed to blow everything away. The thing is, even professional developers complain about how much the liscenses cost.  I have no idea what the price range is and I'm pretty sure you need to email them to get a quote.  Anyway, chances are you and your friends probably can't afford it.  There is a version of Alienbrain called Alienbrain Engineer that is just for programmers that I assume is cheaper (they gave out free copies at last year's GDC.)I'd say if you just want some basic source control and you're already using VS.NET just set up Sourcesafe, regardless of the comments.   If you want something that's a little faster or more robust Perforce is probably a good middle ground between ease of use and quality.  CVS could be a good option for you, especially considering it's entirely free, but there will be somewhat of a learning curve. If you have a lot of cash (million dollar plus budget?) I'd say go for Alienbrain, heh.The pricing is on the Alienbrain site.  $690 USD per seat for a single programmer client (1-20 programmers), $1250 per seat for an artists client and $2190 for a manager client... Not too cheap, heh.    [edited by - impossible on February 10, 2004 7:48:35 PM];quote:Original post by webjeff  YEA RIGHT!!!  No one believes that edited text.

Subversion works great over the web and it works good through SSH so all your traffic is secure.  (Not that anyone is out to steal my code);  I''ve used Perforce and Visual Source Safe at a couple of jobs.  Source Safe sucks bad.  Perforce is awesome.  But, I think Perforce is kinda pricey.-John
