Suggestions for other resources are appreciated and should be sent to Lars Bendix - to access some of the material on this page, you need to have credentials - send me an email to get them.

Lecture notes:

• Lars Bendix: A short introduction to Software Configuration Management, Lecture Note in Software Configuration Management, version 0.80, September 2019.
  Printing instructions: The lecture note follows the same format as Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. This means that you have several options when printing:
  • print two pages per page, which will still be big enough to comfortably read
  • print one page per page, but scaled down to 75%, which will leave plenty of space to take notes
  • print one page per page as is, which will allow me to read your copy from the back row ;-)
