A short overview of Version Control, based on a Wikipedia article but edited for Subversion users.

This article provides example business use-cases to explain why you may want to use Subversion in your Ant build process and show you how to integrate Subversion into your Ant build process.

This is a quick set of guidelines for making the best use of Subversion in your day-to-day software development work. These best practices are taken from the book Version Control with Subversion, which can be downloaded from openCollabNet

Introductory article to Subversion and version control. Use with Caution.
