If you in web development, sooner or later you will understand that you need some version control system. After reading about these systems i set my choice on SVN.
I am not going to tell you how to install it, you can find many detailed articles on this topic. I want to share some basic commands. This list is more than enough to get basic experience of SVN usage. I also recommend you to read this book, if you are going to use it seriously.
