this seems complicated... i simply make a backup of my dev folder on the end of the day and upload it to dropbox... maybe svn is something different, after watching this video i still doesnt know what it is

[DataMiningLab]

@WindowsSoftwareDe You're exactly right. It's like Dropbox-- files you can store online with version control and comments. This tutorial was created before Dropbox was popular, but your comment is a much simpler way of explaining svn.

Brilliant and clear! I tried other tutorial and I couldn't understand a word. And not too fast at all ... have you guys tried using the pause button and taking notes?

DatMiningLab tutor, thank you. My entire web knowedge was html and a bit of magento, but thanks to you I am now using SVN!!
