Since my last post was on SVN, I think its time to make an update about this version control thingy. Trust me guys mercurial(and for that matter git) is way better than SVN. Mercurial may have a slow learning curve but once you get the feel you will be amazed by its power. and again with eclipse we have the awesome mercurial plugin.
The easiest way to go about learning mercurial is
1)Have a start here http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2010/03/17.html
2) First clear the basics and only after then start using it. Meanwhile forget everything you have learnt from SVN.
3) Have fun with it. :)
Update: Sep,2014. It looks funny that after all these years git has beaten mercurial to death. More than 90% of the developer community(at least those I know) uses git now. I myself having used both git and mercurial, would recommend git too.
