The Right Tool for the Job (Part III)

##Source Control

In part 1, I explored language choice; in part 2, I explored framework choice; today, I will briefly discuss source control. I will be using Git. The choice was clear. I don’t feel like going over all of the reasons why Git is better than other options. I prefer to let other people talk about it.

With that square, I have done the only logical thing to do: start a new project on GitHub. The project is nothing but an initial build of a Pylons project.

I have a confession to make. These last three posts have been a little bit deceptive. I didn’t really make my tool selections in the way that I’ve outlined. I knew these tools before I knew my project. In fact, I selected my project to fit these tools. I could do this because the problem of organizing my record collection is not important, and I am leaving myself open to change my tools as my needs change. Next post, I will actually be making a decision on my data store. Any suggestions?
