Development coordination
-
I am currently working on a project that involves multiple programmers. I seem to remember a tool (I thought it was at code project, but maybe not...) that allowed easy coordination. Allowing certain classes to be "checked out", modified, and returned to the website, so that two programmers do not modify the same class in different ways, and everyone maintains the most updated copies. Also, I believe this was specific to .net .... but now I am using Java. So, does anyone know of a service or tool that can do this? I'm sure that there must be, but I cannot find it. Thank you.

The type of "tool" you are describing is a source code control system (SCCS). There are numerous tools like this and range anywhere from free to several thousands of dollars. All of these tools are not specific to any programming language or technology, but do require specific server operating systems to run on. The favorite of a lot of people here on CP is Subversion[^], with the TortoiseSVN[^] client.

Hi chriscaswell, I think SourceAnywhere is the one you want. It enables easy coordination. Multiple developers can work on the same project/classes without stepping on others feet. It supports .NET and Java development. SourceAnywhere has both standalone and hosted editions. Please go to home pages of the two for more infomation: http://www.dynamsoft.com/Products/SourceAnywhere-SourceSafe-VSS.aspx http://www.dynamsoft.com/Products/SourceAnywhere-Hosting-Version-Control-Source-Control.aspx There is a free hosting plan with the hosted edition. You can take a try. Thanks, Catherine Sea
