Android Books

• Pro Android 2/3• Amazon.com Android search =~ 3000 book

Code Repository

• Each user will have BitBucket account and private repository.

• Repository is based on GIT DVCS.• GIT training will be provided on 1st training.• Jury team will monitor code commits.

VCS

• VCS – Version Control System• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control• Centralized– CVS, Subversion(SVN), MS Visual SourceSave,

Perforce, etc.• Distributed– Git– Mercurial– Bazaar

DVCS • Peer-to-peer approach, as opposed to the client-

server approach of centralized systems. Each peer's working copy of the codebase is a bona-fide repository.

• Distributed revision control conducts synchronization by exchanging patches (change-sets) from peer to peer.

• No canonical, reference copy of the codebase exists by default; only working copies.

DVCS • Common operations (such as commits, viewing

history, and reverting changes) are fast, because there is no need to communicate with a central server.

• Communication is only necessary when pushing or pulling changes to or from other peers.

• Each working copy effectively functions as a remote backup of the codebase and of its change-history, providing natural protection against data loss

Git

• Git (/ɡɪt/) is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed.

• Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development.

• Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.

• Git is free software distributed under the terms GPL version 2.
