You hit the nail on the head when you say that everyone knows that they should be using these tools but somehow not everyone actually is using them.
One really important trend is not just that people are using individual tools, but rather that integrated packages of these tools are available. We see them here on dev.java.net and as well as other project hosting sites like tigris.org and sf.net. They are collaborative development environments (CDEs) that give development teams all the tools at once so that it is easer to use them than to not use them. The best CDEs also have integrated security and internet scalability.
Every professional developer must have seen how
these sites have been used over the past few years.
Every professional developer should be asking themselves how they can use CDEs for development inside their company and with their partners. |
