I'm planning on doing more coding from home but in order to do so, I need to be able to edit files on a Samba drive on our dev server.

But if the other people are on the other end of a phone line, it's not so good. I played with skrbl.com, which isn't bad (though I couldn't make it work with Safari or Chrome), but it's not ideal. What is?...

I'm starting a programming project soon with a group of friends. We will all be working remotely most of the time. I'd like to start an online wiki that we can all access but it needs to be something that is free, private and accessible only to the team. Can anyone suggest a good host for this kind of wiki?

I've been working full-time as a programmer for 16 years across three different companies. While that has been fun (and not so fun), I'm at a point where I'd like to abandon the daily commute and corporate life, and instead try to make a living working from home. The model I've got in mind is taking on projects for companies located anyw...
I sometimes code when i'm away from the office. I would like to continue to use the benifits of source control when not connected to the company network. My ideal system would allow me to checkin revisions to a repository on my laptop that would then sync with our main SVN repository when I connect to the company network. when syncing w...
My (.NET) app allows users to tweak database values. They will then need to generate reports based on their edits, either Crystal or Reporting Services, but that's not important - what is important is that the generation won't definitely be able occur on their local box, e.g. they might not have Crystal Reports (or whatever) installed on...
I'm just getting into the practice of version control (I'd like to use Eclipse and SVN), and I'm not sure the best setup for my scenario.

Next month I'm going to be moving house and away from the office where I work with 6 other colleagues. I'm keen to keep some kind of presence in the office and although we are avid skype and ichat users I can't help that I will miss out on elements of communication. Does anyone have any good suggestions and experience - for example: al...
At my work we are growing to the point where we are becoming uncomfortable with "walking code". By that I mean code that goes home with developers such as myself on laptops. While I am a developer, meaning I certainly have a motivation to keep development as convenient as possible, I'm also a business person, which means I have a motiv...
