This may be the wrong place to post this, but I figured if anyone could help, or tell me where to go (besides to hell) it would be fellow programmers/developers.
Here's the short of it...
My company is deciding to switch from our current programming language to either Java or C#. (Let's not start arguing that point). We know how we'd most likely deploy our applications in the C#/.NET environment, but we don't have any expertise in house to know how we should do it with Java.
Our current software is constantly being modified by 20+ programmers, so we need some type of setup where the code resides in just one place, and as users need to run the applications, they all pull from that place. We don't want to do "builds" where we release modifications out to the users nightly. Our applications need to be able to be changed at a moment's notice and put into production a minute later.
We have hundreds of users that are all on the same network, but are in different geographical locations. So bandwidth over the network is a concern.
Can we simply host all of the code on our current UNIX server and have users remotely launch the software on their Windows PCs?
Any thoughts or ideas are GREATLY appreciated, as I am utterly clueless.
