Will using a VCS help me as a web dev?
- by jsims281
I'm thinking of trying a VCS such as subversion, to manage my next project, but I'm not sure if will offer any real benefits for me as a web developer. As I understand it, one of the major benefits of a VCS is that a group of people can work on a project at once.
Reading material on the subject seems pretty one sided:
"Using a version control system is an
absolute must for a developer of a
project above a few hundred lines of
code"
...and I've got a feeling it could become a chore, with not many benefits.
I work on development server on the local network, so any amount of people can work on the files already. If anyone needs to get in remotely, they use FTP. What would a modern version control system give me on top of this?
