I enjoyed the code challenge we had towards the end of the seminar at UWE.

I'd like to present

The Joe Simpson Guide to Project Planning*

If anyone isn't familiar with his exploits I strongly respect the movie below!

Hi all,

I'm still uncertain as to whether I'll be able to attend this, though I hope I can, but I was wondering whether someone would be able to present something/give some information on using Git with LabVIEW? This is something that I'm trying to bring in at the company that I'm at and am finding some of the functions (eg merge) to be a bit tricky with respect to graphical programming.

Thanks!

Hi Shalimar,

Are you talking about moving to Git from something else or just adopting Git as a source code control in a group that doesn't use any at the minute?

Moving to Git from SVN I'd be happy to talk about. Using these technologies in a team and the fun involved in that, someone else is probably better placed to talk about it.

Hi Mac,

I've managed to convert our projects over from SVN to Git, so that's okay thanks!

The issue is more the co-working aspect. Eg, when I make several changes to a project and push it up to the server and someone else pulls it down, they find that none/some of the changes were merged to their current working directory. So we've had to either do very frequent pulls/pushes from/to the server or else clone the repository down to a new working directory if someone has made a substantial amount of changes...

Hi Shalimar,

As a primarily solo developer, I'm probably not the best person to talk about that then 🙂
