Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion by Mike Mason

by Mike Mason

This book shows how just a handful of basic recipes can be used to get almost all of the benefits from a version control system. Follow these recipes, and your project's assets (source code, documentation, test data, scripts, and so on) will be protected, and you'll be in control of how they're used.

This book can be simply summarized in this quick reference if you don't have time to read all of these detailed examples

This book is clearly organized. After reading the book, I successfully built a svn server for myself.

[Nathan Glenn]

As with others in the series, this is a quick read, and it details everything you need to know to use SVN effectively. We use SVN at my school, but nobody (including me) has ever known how to use branches, tags, or labels.

[Salvador Gomez]

Something between a cookbook and a field guide, very concise reference about Subversion, it only lacks more examples of a full control version strategy, or more info on how can be leveraged on different situations.

[Adrian]

A decent Subversion reference, with a gentle introduction to version control. PDF available.

[Mzd]

Handles the complex subject of version control elegantly. Number one quick start guide. Then, you should still go read the red bean book...

[Brent]

Mike does a good job moving through SVN.

[Travis Johnson]

Good overview of how to use subversion to keep source code under control, and how to actually use subversion on projects.

[Kevin McDonagh]

It gave me a good intro to svn at the time. Lots of common sense stuff, nothing here for the hardcode.

[Vinny Carpenter]

Loving this book so far - clear, concise and an easy read.

[Christian]

It's really more for starters but the brief hints on how to backup a repository helped.

[Saša]

I gave it 4 stars because it is good for the real beginners to the Subversion to get them going. But it is also missing some stuff. Like integration with various IDE`s, and tips on that.

[Alessandro Pellizzari]

Ottima guida introduttiva a subversion, con molti esempi chiari. Avrei gradito un approfondimento maggiore sulle caratteristiche più avanzate (per esempio gli hook).

[Giuseppe Pizzimenti]

manualetto pratico e scorrevole, da utilizzare in modalità "hands on"

[Chris]

Nothing that I didn't already know or could find online...

[Diego]

Es una introducción a Subversion bastante concisa y práctica, ideal para aquellos que quieran trabajar con este sistema de control de versiones de una vez. Se puede ocupar como manual.
