I have gone back and forth over version control options. I know that big corporations and even the government uses Subversion because of the ease of implementation. At this point in time my site is small enough that I could easily keep a spreadsheet of changes in with a full backup file. I know as time goes on and things grow, I would have to get a more comprehensive system to track my changes and backup things in a more dynamic manner. I hope to continue to do research outside of this class for version control and security as the two really go hand in glove as things progress. It’s a big challenge to understand what I need and how I will be able to apply it to my own site. It’s exciting at the same time and I am enjoying how much I have learned and how much there is to learn. I still have a hard time understanding exactly how the version control programs work, but I will get there eventually.
