Oct 16, 2012 at 16:28 comment added maple_shaft I edited out one part of your question, the one asking how to convince your boss. Generally there isn't a constructive answer for how to convince somebody when you it is never completely apparent to the answerer the underlying motivations or political reasons for the decision in the first place.

Oct 16, 2012 at 15:35 comment added OpenCoderX I'm a GIT die hard. Once I get a version of the site running locally, I'll use GIT to track my changes then only check-in my GIT master branch to VSS. Source control within source control.
Oct 16, 2012 at 15:33 comment added Wyatt Barnett Visual Source Safe eh? If that is the case I suspect whatever the previous guy did wasn't horribly brilliant. Then again, at least there is source control.
Oct 16, 2012 at 15:17 comment added OpenCoderX It's starting to frustrate me, I'm trying to be proactive, but there are some configuration issues that I am missing.(I'll post specifc error stuff on overflow) The stack is as follow: MS SQL server, Visual Studio 2008, Visual Source Safe, IIS 7, ASP.NET app code.

Oct 16, 2012 at 15:14 comment added MrFox And this should be a lesson in life. Getting things set up is half of the job, making sure it all doesn't collapse when you leave is the other half.
Oct 16, 2012 at 15:06 comment added thorsten müller Much of this depends on the used technology and other details. In some technology stacks you can find most important dependencies that need to be installed in a few configuration files, in other cases this needs to be documented. I think the developer who now works with the system should know best what information is absolutely crucial.
