Hello all,
We're embarking on a process of rolling out svn as a general
file versioning/sharing solution across our company. I'm hoping
one day to eliminate all the dodgy file-shares floating around
our network currently.
We're a small-medium sized consulting company, with staff ranging
from complete tech-heads to complete nuffers who can't draw the
the distinction between email and voicemail.
Our primary business is developing solutions for customers, which
usually, if we're not sending staff onsite, means the full SDLC
treatment (requirements, design, implementing, testing, iteration..)
and we've been using CVS in the past to try and keep control
of the release cycle (whether it be code release, requirements
release,
etc). We've been investigating Subversion as a potential cure for
CVS's main problems and we're pretty satisfied that it does that
(and promises so much more in the future).
At this point, I want to start educating our staff as to the proper
behaviour when using a versioning system. At the moment, the volume
of education required seems enormous, so I'm trying to hunt down
resources to help with this process, but there doesn't seem to be
that much to be had (I found one CVS training site written in 1995).
Has anyone else had any experience doing any decent amount of training
for users using a file versioning system? The requirements for
education range from a simple "checkout, make your changes, checkin"
for the HR and Marketing staff, to the full release cycle and its
impact on the filesystem (branches, tags, merging, changesets, etc).
Has anyone written, read or have reference to any decent resources
that could be used as a springboard for my efforts? I'm looking for
books, quizes, exams, tests, tutorials, reference cards, etc.
The Subversion book has already formed part of the quiver :)
