Distributed Version Control -

Distributed version control systems have seen a great rise in popularity in recent years, but not all developers have had a chance to try them out. Maybe you're wondering what all the fuss is about, or have given it a go and found it too confusing. In this session I'll explain in simple terms what a DVCS is and why you want to use one. Whether you are a lone developer, an open source contributor, or working in a large team on a commercial product, I'll show the benefits DVCS can bring to your workflow. I will demonstrate the use of Mercurial, and maybe git as well if we have time.
