Developer Data Integrity

...using CVS for Dreamweaver or another product?

We use CVS with CFEclipse for Coldfusion development.

BKBK, are you using CVS for Dreamweaver or another product?

We use both CVS and (Simon's suggestion) Subversion.

Where I work, I'm one of the managees, not the manager. We just talk to each other a lot and it seems to work out ok.

Regarding making sure that we all see the site from the same location, we code on a development server, not our own machines.

Use version control. I recommend Subversion ( http://subversion.tigris.org/) it is really simple to set up and free.

It allows users to check out a working copy of the site on their local machines and will merge multiple edits to a file as long as they have not edited the same lines. If this happens then there is a requirement for the developer to resolve the conflict.

Also all code history is stored in the repository so you can go back to previous versions and compare, etc.. It is far better than Visual Source Safe and much cheaper (free). It is widely used so decent documentation etc..

I think you will never look back, to be honest even if there is only one of you working on code you should use it so you can see a decent history if you make a mistake!
