Awesome, thanks for bringing it up. A nice way to get veracity some publicity I guess, wonder how it compares to git.
|
Haha, thanks for this.
I'm taking first year CS right now, so it might not be incredibly useful to me as of yet, but it looks interesting, and maybe I'll learn something from it. :p
|
thanks for this book, love the monalisa cover. I'm a pretty hardcore git fan tho, but I dont mind switching if this looks promising

God I would kill for a free book, this semester by book total was 900 dollars x.x Congrats, enjoy the read!

Signed up cause.. why not? I've used subversion and mercurial but I know nothing about other versioning tools so I figure this book will be worth taking a look at.

Not sure if you're serious or just making fun of how he wrote his blog, but unless he became one in the two hours between his last post and this, I would say... no? :p
EDIT: I think he's just excited.

Sick, this looks really interesting, I just applied for one. I've only ever used subversion (SVN) for version control lets see if this book actually makes me want to use anything else...
|
Holy shit! Completely forgot about this, just got mine in the mail it is actually a really well presented book that basically a user manual for SVN, Git, Mercurial, and Veracity. I would advise any CS student to check this out.
