Changes are usually … blah blah blah blah Here’s the bottom line: When two developers are working on the same project, version control is what keeps them from killing each other Version Control Systems (VCS) are an incredibly important aspect of working on a team, yet it rarely receives much — if any exposure — in many academic settings.

Here begins the TruFax™ Even if you’re getting a 4-year degree from a respected university. They won’t teach you everything you need to know. One great way to fill in the cracks in your knowledge is to get involved in the local developer community.
Why Get Involved Brain Knowledge — Colleges can’t teach you everything and their instruction will likely be dated, technology moves crazy fast
