“Open Source Development with CVS” is a book from cvsbook.red-bean.com released under GNU GPL. I’ve been reading most of the CVS related capters, and it’s certainly a good start if you wish to use CVS. It’s a long book, and it takes you far beyond basic CVS commands. But it was also a good book, and for a person who has never used CVS before it was a good start. I can recommand it to anyone who wants to learn CVS, but you might want to skip a few capters, there’s a lot about develpment communities, which is not necessary to know if you just want to learn CVS. I feel a bit more confident using CVS for the next changes to P2PChat.

Today Sharpdevelop 2.0 has finally been released. Sharpdevelop is an open source IDE for .Net framework. I’ve been using Sharpdevelop 1.x to write P2PChat, and I’m planing to make a short switch back to Windows, just to complete P2PChat and libP2PChat. Then I’ll move back onto whatever *nix is closest, and offers me enough Mono support to write a Linux/Mono/GTK# version of P2PChat, on top of the old libP2PChat I’ll develop in Windows.

I tried to install Sharpdevelop 2.0, amazing that my dualboot Windows still works it been at least 3 month since I’ve visited it last, anyway I played a little with .Net 2.0 and it seams like it might offer some new features. I wonder where P2PChat will end once I get started 🙂
