Version Control
I am currently not using any form of version control, although I would really like to get in the habit of using one. From what I have read there are really 2 good options, SVN (http://subversion.tigris.org/) and CVS (http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/).
You can also subscribe or get spaces on the internet that supply loads of tools in addition to version control. These places are ideal multiple people to collaborate over the internet and still have access to the same files and communicate efficiently. Assembla (http://www.assembla.com/) is one I have used in the past and it works pretty well. The one drawback is it used to be free, not sure it still is for private spaces.

I have to admit I’m in the same boat you are, Justin. My goal in the near future is to finally overcome my techie fear of SVN and get this rockin’. Just curious, do the folks you work for – using OSC – use any kind of version control?

No not yet, I’m getting to that soon. I’m building a big PHP web database of sorts so that our clients can access different resources we make available to them across different project we do with them. Once I hit the first functional version I’ll be using probably SVN to manage all the upgrades and changes.
