Change your direction?

“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”

Currently we had completed the first release. In 3 months period, our software had covered all the thing that required for the first iteration. Any additional requirement, we will bring it to the next iteration. This is what we called the Agile development style.

Suddenly, we had been inform that the sofware scope is much more bigger. Bigger than what we had did and imagine. It is a 10 years development with more than 10 staff.  WHAT!!!.. We just only have 4 developers now, and had planned that we can finish it around a year. What a joke.

TIME and MONEY is the main constraint. We need to speed up the progress, at the same time, we can’t hire more staff. Erm, let me thing how to solve it.. Erm.. thinking.. ahah, reduce the requirement. I don’t think they can reduce it. So how? How we need to solve this? In my mind, I want to continue the developing, but does it the right direction? If not, what is our direction now? Buy a finish product? Is it?

Today is a special day. Everybody in the office wearing a smart suite. Long sleeve shirt with a neck tie. The funny thing is, I take a while to tie my neck tie. :P. I can’t remember when is the last time i wear that thing. 3 to 4 years ago I guess.

The Minister of Higher Education is coming to our office today. Everyone in the office take a responsiblity to welcome the minister. Me myself become a car jockey. Luckily for me, today I had experience to drive “somebody’s Mercedes”. haha.

Who else in your web server?

Sometimes, I just wondering who else is sharing with my web hosting server. How many of it? What kind of website is there? Is there any good website to surf? Is there any website that can benefit me (I mean in term of knowledge)?

Just now, i had found some good web tools that give all the answer.  :) You can use it in myipneighbors.com.

Domain Driven Design

Filed Under (Programming) by admin on 29-10-2008

When I start working at this company (Mediu), I had learned a new approach of designing software.  It is a Domain Driven Design (DDD). The primary focus of DDD is the domain logic. The approach is, before we start to code, we need to define what kind of domain should have and how it should related each other. Than it will drive you away. :D. You can refer to this link for more information about DDD.

Actually, until now, I still had some grey area about DDD. As a result, yesterday, I just bought this book for my reference. Hope this book will help me to master the DDD better. :). adios…

I had been introduced by my colleague with a new kewl tool. Selenium IDE. It is a web testing tool and it is good for the web developer. What I need to do is just click a record button and start fill in my web form. After finish, then click stop and save my test case. Later, if I need to fill again the form, I just need to run the test case. It will repeat what had been record for me.
