working from distance

[Simonee]

I spoke with a programmer today and he told me that there are often several programmers that works at the same projekt, thats why it is difficult to have someone working from distance.

But as I have noticed it's very common that programmers work from distance, but what kind of programming (lets say that I can program in C# .net ) is usually done from distance? Is it systemitegration, or do I have to make a fully application myself etc?

It is possible to co-develope almost any project. You just need a good source management package. Try CVS or Subversion. Some use Visual Source Safe.

I love open source subversion , it seems to mean my resources are always open for public access :)
Visual Source Safe is by MS, lethal...dead !

Yes that is why I say "some", I have heard shall we say stories.

Visual Source Safe really hasn't been promoted for years.

Visual Studio Team Suite has built-in project management functionality (ie. source control, document management, etc.) and it's excellent.
