Provide versioning and rollback capabilities to your source code with the resolution of individual code modifications.
 By Tom Snyder
Programmers in any language have supported multiple versions of source code during development, the simplest case being that you can keep a copy of the current production code while you work on a new version that contains your current development changes. But what if you wanted to document each change and have the ability to selectively reset any changes while supporting multiple developers working on the same source code? Git can help with this.

To develop Android applications with Eclipse you could use the following installation method:
- Install the Java Platform Development Kit (JDK)
Get the 32 bit version (even if you are running on a 64 bit system) of the JDK because the Android SDK will look for the 32 bit version and throw an error indicating that it can't find it. There are work arounds, using the 32 bit version is one of them.
- Install latest version of Eclipse. The classic version is recommended for use with Android.
- Install the Android SDK.
- Install the Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugin

With Drupal Multisite capabilities you could have one Drupal code base being reused for multiple websites. This allows you to keep your base code updated once to support multiple sites.
This is also a good feature if you have several low traffic websites and want to reuse a single hosting plan. I have done this for my brother who is a plumber which is hosted with my primary site.

Create useful date-centric service programs with embedded SQL.
Welcome to 2012! All of our year-end processes are complete, and it's the beginning of a new year with a clean slate. 2011 was a very clean year date-wise because it ended on a Saturday. Typically, there is always special handling with the last week of the year for one reason or the other, which makes working with data a prevalent topic. For this article, I wanted to share a few handy little SQL functions that I've put into service programs to extend the existing RPG date resources. And this is all done with very minimal code in a reliable way that is highly reusable.

Make compiling easier for service programs with the use of binding directories.
With the end of the year comes time to close out my series of articles on service programs. In previous articles, I discussed how to create a service program, followed by discussing the benefits and cautions of using the binding language with your service programs. In this article, I'll discuss how to create binding directories and why you would want to use them.

Find out how to support multiple signatures and what to be aware of when changing service programs.
I initially intended on just doing a three-part series that worked its way toward binding directories, but I feel as though I need to cover more on the binding language before I can move on. So this follow-up article will discuss support for multiple signatures and things that you should be cautious of when using the binding language.

2Wolvesout.com is now Code-Gorilla.com
I am happy to announce that I have changed my website domain from 2WolvesOut.com to Code-Gorilla.com!
I have redirected the 2WolvesOut domain to Code-Gorilla, so you will have access to all of the same great information that you've had before and I plan on adding lots of new content.

Do you know how to recompile your service programs without having to recompile all programs using the service program?
I have to admit that the binding language was a late discovery for me, and I've struggled for quite awhile working around it. But I've found the binding language to solve the problem of having to recompile your service programs without having to recompile all the programs that are using it. Without the binding language, service programs are very similar to modules due to the need to recompile the programs every time they change. This article will show you how to overcome this problem with the use of the binding language.
