We recently switched from using Subversion to Git for source controll management.  If you're not already familiar with Git you should go check out the web site.  It's some great software.  There are plenty of places with big lists of why Git is great, so I won't repeat them all.  Suffice it to say that it's fast and friendly to the developer. Also, it can super charge your IDE.  Seriously. 

This blog will be the place to stay up to date on all things happenin' in the aPeel world.  We'll be using it to keep you informed of new features and we'll be providing tips on the best ways to use the internet to grow your business.
