14.CM.Practice

I have completed all three tasks. Details are given below.

• WebSpider-ChiaoFen links:
• WebSpider-ChiaoFen Project Hosting
• WebSpider-ChiaoFen Discussion
• WebSpider-ChiaoFen SVN
  

• Install an SVN client:
• When I tried to download the SVN client from the TortoiseSVN Download, I was confused because I was not sure I should download the SVN from 32 bit application or 64 bit application. Even though my intuition was to download from 32 bit application, I could not make the final decision for it because I was not sure what system my computer is. Therefore, I took a few minutes to figure out the system of my computer. Finally, I followed the steps such as start->my computer (right click) ->properties->Advanced->Environment Variables->System variables->ComSpec (System32) to find out the system of my computer. This is how I completed the task 1.

• Modify an existing Google Project:
• This task was fun to me because I did it with my team member together. Both of us followed the instructions in the SVN lecture, so we checked out the "Stack-Johnson" project at the same time into our individual workplace. Then, I made a small change in the project from my local workplace, and my team member also made some changes in the project from his local workplace. After we ran and made sure our projects pass the verify target, my team member committed his changes to the repository without any error. Then, I committed my changes to the repository but I encountered some errors. After some time of studying the errors, we found out that I could not commit my changes to the repository because my version of the "Stack-Johnson" was not the most updated version since my team member submitted earlier than me. Hence, I would need to update my version of the "Stack-Johnson" to the most updated version. Then, I could commit my changes to the repository. It was fun because we followed the instructions for task 2. My team member did not have any problem but I did. It is always good to learn experience. This is how I completed the task 2.

• Create a new Google Hosting Project:
• I followed the instructions in the SVN lecture to create "webspider-chiaofen" google project. This task is very straightforward because the "Stack-Johnson" project is a good example to compare to my "webspider-chiaofen" project. Hence, I did not encounter any complicated issues, so I completed the task 3.
