Perforce has been my favorite versioning & source control management tool for 10+ years. I've used SVN, CVS, TFS, Git, and others but Perforce has always been my go-to. In my 15 years of working as a professional graphics/engine programmer I have used Perforce at game studios, Lockheed Martin, Full Sail University, Disney, and even at home with my hobby projects.

This course will guide you through the important differences of Perforce compared to other tools, get you up and running with your own server (optional), and quickly get you using the visual client (P4V) like a pro! We'll cover common operations such as check-out, check-in, merging, labeling, and branching. You'll get hands on demonstrations for everything and we'll even cover the admin and command line tools in case you want to set up and use your own server for the free small-team license that Perforce offers.
