This is sort of a follow-up on an earlier post that I had made: Life after Subversion.
I've been toying with the idea of moving from Subversion (a centralized version control system) to a Distributed Version Control System (DCVS) like Git, Mercurial or Bazaar for about 6 months. I played with Mercurial and Bazaar earlier this year and found that moving our development from Subversion to Mercurial or Bazaar was was a fairly significant change.
Over the last few weeks I've been looking again at Git. Obviously there are lots of advantages of using distributed version control system. However, what I found was that there are quite a few issues that I had to consider before making the jump from Subversion.

A couple of weeks ago, I spoke at the RIA conference Web on the Piste 2008 on the topic of "Testing for Success".
Over the past few years, I've worked with many ColdFusion and Flex development teams. It has been interesting to see that there is more interest in test-driven development. However, a lot of times team leaders/company executives overlook the bigger picture and focus on just the details. And the lack of this larger context can lead to less effective/failed testing practices. My presentation this year was focused on presenting this bigger picture with focus on ColdFusion and Flex.

By the way, for those of you who have not heard about Web on the Piste, it is a conference on Rich Internet Technologies that takes place every year in the beautiful Queenstown in New Zealand.
