How Can Multiple Programmers Work on Same Project?

[LVMastery]

Hello All,

We've been asked this question several times, usually by people with broken VIs, and lost code.

So, I posted some of my thoughts and recommendations, and a video from a session done in Oakville Ontario this past week.

Find the video here: http://www.lvmastery.com/TipJar2009-01-27

In this blog entry, I discuss how multiple programmers can work together on the same project:

Communicate!
Split the tasks: dont all work on the same portion of the code
Take advantage of separate SubVIs and Typedefs
Make sure your files are where you think they are: files tab in project screen
How to split up the Robot Typedef into separate sub-typedefs
How to replace and "resynchronize" your project after changes are made
Backup code by zipping the entire project directory

Thanks for this! =)

From your previous posts I've organize us to using typedefs for each subsystem inside the robot data one. =) Glad to see we've been doing the right thing.
