Sure, but let's not dismiss as hopelessly incapable of supporting source code control. It does. It has built-in support for the SCC API, which is supported by many source code control apps. I've hooked it up to SVN. Conversely, Eclipse can certainly be hooked directly to a remote server via FTP. HomeSite+ could also support projects (don't know about the base HomeSite).
So again, I'm not so sure that it's primarily changes in development practices that are driving this. And as I said, I don't that HomeSite (the core product) was really used much by true developers. Some, sure. I really think it's simply more that it was written in Delphi that was its ultimate undoing. Just a guess, of course. All that said, I don't disagree with you that people should learn to use source code control systems, for sure, even if doing development by themselves. In fact, the very first user group talk I did (in 1998) was on this topic: Version Control in ColdFusion: It's Free, and Not Just For Teams Anymore http://www.carehart.org/presentations/#1 That wasn't using SVN, of course, since it wasn't yet born. It wasn't even on VSS, which ruled for many years. Instead, it was using the Versions product which some will remember was actualy distributed with CF Studio back in the 3 timeframe (for CF and CF Studio). /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Sunday, July 05, 2009 10:30 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFu...I mean Homesite is dead! lol. Charlie, I think its also the changing development practices too perhaps. The project minded approach with direct ties to version control in the IDE ad local PC based development is becoming predominant. Many HomseSite+, or some relation, users do not like project based approaches, vehemently dislike even! They love the ease HS has of direct FTP/RDS access to the sever, production server in many cases. In a team of developers this is really bad, eh? Enterprises like version control and no access to production. A few years back I had tough challenge getting a team to stop using RDS and develop on local PCs and using version control. But in the end it payed off with teams being able to work together easily, NO loss of code bases, and much more stable production environments. That said I'm using DW right now to edit a web site live, ha ha! Its just easy cheesy to do so and not near a enterprise environment. Setting up some beta software now to test FTP use too.
