Coding in teams?

[Deleted member 12738]

It isn't really about hosting, so sorry, but there wasn't another tag available.

Anyways, how can someone code in teams? How to ensure you don't overwrite each other's edits?
Any hints / tips on this one? I've no clue.

Ventrilo and they work on different sections perhaps? Not sure, then 1 puts all the work together? 😀

That would be the hard way, but I swear I've heard of a program for this. As soon as I can ask my friend, then I will shoot you an answer 🙂

Thanks for the answers so far. I'm building a new site and I'd like to know if'd be possible.

When I had to work on a C project, myself and other members would use SVN. Very useful in keeping revision history, letting you know what changes have been made since the last time.

You mean how do tens of coders code video games and websites and such so that they don't screw each other up?

Basically you assign parts to each person ^^.

More like with 2 to 3 people.

Thanks for your help!

Well, i prefer to code by my self, so I know that I am the only one editing the code at that time, but other than that I was working in a team, we decided to have each other on Skype, and we would tell each other when we had done coding so it was safe.

That's a nice idea, but it'd require many different files. It'd require a separate file for template class, db class, user class, data class etc. to make sure you don't overwrite...

Thanks for all ideas so far!

Well, you obviously don't "overwrite each other's edits" to begin with. Essentially, each team member is given a different task/function, and then it is collaborated at a later time. Then the team would most likely work together in the debugging process and determine if the code is correct or not.

Isn't that kinda hard? I never ever wrote a code block without like 5 parse errors. (Missing ;'s and such)

Say you're like me and writing a script for a social network. I might tell Dave to write the form for the status's, Judith to write to the code so the status's post to the server, Dom to code the template of the site, etc. 🙂

I see. Thanks for all your replies! I think my question is answered. 🙂

Its called source control:

Broadly speaking there are two types (centralised, and distributed).

Its standard industry practice, every modern software development team uses it.

On a forum, What I would usually do is make everyone that has updated post in a special area I.E "Development discussion" Where they talk about what they done, and what they can do.
