programmingTeacher's Productivity Hampered by technology. No love.Amber Arizpe | Jan 27 2008Greetings Programs, I am a User. (Sorry, I rediscovered Tron the other day… Anyways…) Background: I am a math teacher. High School Math Teacher. I am a engineer. I like elegance. I like usability. I like duct tape. I like being able to come up with my own solutions. I also like to not re-invent the wheel as I have other things to do. Lesson Plans, Grades, Re-takes, filing, parent meetings, staff meetings, continual professional development, making worksheets, tests, learning guides, and that secret side of a teacher called a dating life. I use macs. I use PCs. I use unix/linux. But my preferred choice is the mac. Why? Because I have one at work and one at home. I was raised on it and unix. I lived in a house that lived by the Customer Calendar (Advertising), so I know products from Adobe and Quark. I like pretty buttons. I am a computer engineer, so I know how the things work. I know I can program my own stuff, but again… I don’t like re-inventing the wheel. read more » POSTED IN:

Getting into Version ControlJamie Phelps | Jan 4 2008Short Version:I think it’s high time I got my act together and started using version control for my web design and programming work. Two questions I’d like you to answer: How do you/should I go about making version control part of my working process? and What is a good version control system for my needs? (I have been overwhelmed by all the strangeties of SVN in the past.) The first question is the most important for me as I can pretty much adjust to most anything.
