Tip: Version Control

It’s important to keep saving different versions of your project as you work along.  With these different versions, one can see the progress and one can also backtrack to an older version if one feels the current version is taking a step in the wrong direction.  

For example, in working with this senior project, I’ve been saving different versions in separate folders whenever I add/remove/complete/etc. a piece of working code or a new design.  If I somehow mess up some code on the current version I’m working on, I can always backtrack to or reference an older version that worked. This saves a lot of time and can prevent some unneeded stress.
