VOODOO Server

VOODOO Server is the successor of our award-winning stand-alone version control tool VOODOO. Unlike most other version control solutions available for Macintosh computers, VOODOO Server is a real client/server solution. This forms the basis for a highly efficient and robust multi-user environment. Efficient, because all time consuming tasks can be delegated to the server and the developer’s machine is no longer slowed down (e.g., from the client’s point of view a check-in operation is reduced to the transfer of the file to the server). Robust, because the server application is the only process that works on the database. In combination with a solid transaction mechanism the client/server architecture minimizes the risk of database corruption. Since the server application can run either on a server machine anywhere on the network but also on the local machine, VOODOO Server is scalable from single user projects up to large projects with many developers.

VOODOO Server in combination with the CodeWarrior plug-in offers a user-friendly version control solution that enables you to manage your software project without having to deal with additional complexity and bureaucracy. The design goal was to give you access to all necessary information and functions without having to learn version control vocabulary and remember revision numbers like 1.4.3.5.6.2. Instead the CodeWarrior plug-in for VOODOO Server offers all the functionality and version information directly inside the CodeWarrior IDE in an easy-to-use Mac-like user interface.

VOODOO Server is powerful but still easy to use - just as Macintosh software should be. Just use it and forget the bureaucratic overhead of other version control tools.

The package includes a tutorial that lets you learn anything you have to know within only a few hours.
