This is an excellent introduction to version control, Tom. It is definitely something I overlooked during my years as a Computer Science student, and I had to catch up when I got my first job as a software engineer.
Cheers Alberto! Yes, same here - looking back with hindsight I can think of so many situations where a VCS would have dramatically helped at university, especially with regards to group projects! Starting my first professional job after my degree and realising just how much a VCS supports and improves the development workflow was a steep learning curve! I'm very thankful my supervisor was so hands-on and supportive, but I feel bad for those who don't have such a warm environment to start out in!
