Teaching source control
Eric Sink is starting series on the basics of source code management.
Nobody is teaching people how to do source control.Our universities don't teach people how to do source control, or at least mine didn't. We graduate with Computer Science degrees. We know more than we'll ever need to know about discrete math, artificial intelligence and the design of virtual memory systems. But many of us enter the workforce with no knowledge of how to use any of the basic tools of software development, including bug-tracking, unit testing, code coverage, source control, or even IDEs.
True, even in CPT which should be more practical and applied. Well, except maybe for the very last point. Today I'm doing an intro to Visual Studio .NET 2003 for Compact Framework development. We only cover the basics (just to make sure everyone can get up to speed quick in the class), but hopefully I can throw in some tips and tricks to make the students more productive.
