In Essential Tools, we will look at two important classes of tools for developers: Version Control Systems and Built Automation Tools. We will look why we use such tools, discuss common concepts for those categories of tools, and then look at a specific and common example of each: Apache® Subversion® for version control, and Apache® Maven™ for build automation.
