Subversion Training: Latest Updates
The most comprehensive on-line training course for the Subversion command line client.
Covers all the Subversion client (svn) commands.

providing an extensive set of web pages packed with information about each command,

Early sections cover the basics of version control and how Subversion supports version control within teams.
Later sections begin with the core commands and move on to advanced topics such as peg revisions and merging.

The Principia Advantage
Principia Academy on-line training courses
Traditional training
You can access the course when convenient to you.
You can refer back to the course at any time.
Travel and accomodation costs add to the course costs.
Sign-up is handled online and you get immediate access.
You can take the course wherever is convenient to you (providing you have internet access).
You have to wait for the course date. This means you may need to
take the training so far ahead of using the tool that you forget much
of the training, or worse, you end up using the tool without training.
You get access to course specific forums and wikis so you can share experiences with fellow students, ask questions and get answers.
You usually get nothing but the course notes to refer to after the course.
All course updates are available to existing students.
Students can choose to receive notification when new course content becomes available.
Once the course is completed all contact with the provider ends.
Offers a selection of courses and sub-courses, so you only need to buy the training you need.
All or nothing.
Principia Academy on-line training courses are accessible because they are low cost and hence low risk.
Face-to-face training is often expensive (£200 per per person per day, or more).
