Developing an application on two locations

[Viktor]

Hi,

I wanted to ask if it is possible to develop an application on two locations e.g. at home and at work... I work on VS2003 (VB) and sql2000 - have the same versions on both places. What should I do if I work on it for five days on work, and then I want to do continue working at home - how do i transfer both the backend data and the project - obviously I'm quite new at this, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Viktor

Buy a laptop?


Save the project directory on a USB disk and take it home with you, bearing in mind that things like the company database and mapped drives arent available unless you have a VPN connection to the LAN from home.

- good laptop is next purchase for sure

I knew that I could save the project and move it from place to place, but I guess some of the connection strings are a bit different and i would not get any data this way. Any option to move the data from place to place along with the project?

Thanks for the answer,
Viktor

Depends what DB youre using.. The big ones are portable, sure:

Oracle 10g Express
SQLServer Express
MySQL

Can all run at home as well as work. Do your work over a VPN though, and you dont have to bother with all that silly stuff
