WHAT IS A VERSION?

DO LIKE THIS?

SVN / CVS

SO ITS ABOUT Basically the point is to share and backup projects 'Easy to set up‘ 1.Create the repository 2.Install the client 3.Use it

SET UP YOUR REPOSITORY (1 / 3) 1.Download PuTTy (for example) 2.Login Host name: ssh.itu.dk Port: 22 Input username and password when prompted (hint: password wont show) Connect to your repository from Tortoise /

SET UP YOUR REPOSITORY (2 / 3) If you want a shared repository, you send an to with: Group name Purpose User names (ITU mail) Expire date If you want to test it, or just want a repository for yourself, then Use SSH to log into ITU Use the command “svnadmin create PATH” where PATH is the FULL path of your desired SVN repository (for example /import/home/username/svn)

SET UP YOUR REPOSITORY (3 / 3) Install the Client found at:

USE IT! Basic SVN Demonstration Merging Automated merge Assisted merge (conflicts) BUT this can only be done with text files like code and LaTex Think about this, if you are alone working on a single file, no problem, but if you are 5 guys working on 25 files...

WHAT IS LATEX Typesetting system Uses logic to describe the document (almost like code) Needs to be 'compiled' Sets up the document at compile time Chooses the most correct typesetting for you Has a steeper learning curve Enables the sharing of work Can have some annoying things

RESOURCES Download LaTex for Windows here: Two editors: (LaTex Editor) (A bit “Word’ish”, but still uses LaTex) Guide to LaTex Danish beginners guide to LaTex

SOME GOOD ADVICE You have to work for it (learning by doing) It will take some time in the beginning You will have to search the Internet for some solutions to something (but it will be there) Give it a shot

THE LATEX DOCUMENT The Preamble (the document settings) Documentclass Packages Page styles Documentclass is the type of the document, are you doing a report, an article. Think of packages of stuff you need to import, before using it... For example if you are going to do math, you need to import that math package. The pagestyles sets up, for example, headers. The actual document Chapters, sections, text, etc

THE LATEX FLOW

A SIMPLE LATEX DOCUMENT Simple \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Small is beautiful. \end{document} There is no packages here, just a documentclass with a class. Save it as a *.Tex file. Either use your IDE to compile it, or use pdflatex (for example pdflatex test.tex, if the path is set correctly).

A “NORMAL” LATEX DOCUMENT \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \author{H.~Partl} \title{Minimalism} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents \section{Some Interesting Words} \subsection{Some not so interesting words} \subsubsection{Boring words} Well, and here begins my lovely article. \section{Good Bye World} \ldots{} and here it ends. \end{document} Now we have a document class with an option and a class (still no packages). We have a title and a table of contents as well.

A BIG REPORT

REFERENCES Setting a reference \label{thisIsAReference} How to reference it \ref{thisIsAReference} How to reference to a page with the label on it \pageref{thisIsAReference}

TABLES \begin{table}[htbp] \centering \begin{tabular}{| c | c |} \hline A & \\ B & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Average End-to-End Delay (s)} \label{ExpEvaTable1} \end{table}

FIGURES Inserting a figure \begin{figure}[!h] \centering \includegraphics[width=90mm]{picturepath} \caption{First scenario - Two single lines} \label{Super2Line} \end{figure}

WHATS NOW IT-intro exercises 1.Create your own repository 2.Create and compile a LaTex document 3.Insert this LaTex document into your repository No computer / programs (or not going to use it) Work on your introweek project Evaluation REMEMBER to evaluate! The ONLY way we get better. What you have gone through is the result of last years evaluation! (And for this check your ITU mail!)
