Planet SCM

We've just published a new article on DDJ, this time talking about distributed software development.

You can find the whole text online here: http://www.ddj.com/architect/208802468.

It covers several scenarios: from basic multi-site to full distributed, and it explains in detail how conflicts are solved when items are modified concurrently at different locations.

Hope you like it!

The folks at DDJ have just interviewed me about SCM Trends.
I tried to give my own view about the future of SCM and even talked about how threading and concurrency (which I've to admit is one of my favourite topics since long, long ago I first read Ben Ari's book, now there's a new edition available and also the superb Jeffrey Richter's book which is also renewed this year) have an impact in the version control field, or even better how I believe SCM can help there.
I've also focused on why C# was an important decision in the early Plastic development, and more specifically why Mono was actually the key which really opened the C# door for us!
