Using Eclipse with Subversion to Develop Sites

June 7th, 2012

Why?

•  This approach is not for everyone.

•  High cost at startup – lot going on.

•  Once up and running, it has advantages. – Eclipse with plugin handles PHP nicely.

– Easier to move back and forth between laptop and CS department server.
