Customer Reviews

A "must read" for all software developers

This book describes the problems of developing software in teams in a simple and straight forward way. The book focus on Software Configuration Management (SCM) from a developer perspective with good "hands on" examples. Compared to other books on the subject SCM, this is a joy to read. I recommend this book to my students when I teach SCM and I recommend it to anyone that needs a good introduction to SCM.

None Better for Basic Principles

Until I read this book, I'd only recognized the problems of sloppy source code control, but couldn't describe them, couldn't solve them, couldn't prevent them. Can you explain the symptoms of the double maintenance, shared data, or simultaneous update problems? Do you know the difference between configurations, revisions, and variations?I've seen 300 page tomes on the subject that can't match even Chapter One in this book. The the examples using Ada, FORTRAN, and SCCS are dated, but tor basic principles, the book is unsurpassed. Save 10% of your next project's budget. Buy the book.

Software Configuration Management : Coordination for Team Pr

This is a small, easy to read book that covers the basics of SCM better than most of the books on the market. Even though it's currently out of print, this is probably one of my all time-favorites books on SCM, especially when I'm trying to introduce the concepts to first-time readers. Many of the books seem to talk around the subject and never actually get down to what the fundamental aspects of SCM actually do.
