Knowing what you want – doing what you do bestThe open source movement has provided some compelling tools that make my life easy and my work enjoyable. It is so rewarding to fashion an application precisely the way you envisioned it to be and deliver the fruit of your labour on time and on budget.Building on a sound foundationThere are many libraries out there promising wonders and providing less. Rather than trying to understand what someone else couldn’t be bothered to test and document I find time and time again that I am better served by rolling out my own. The result is some compact code crafted specifically for the task without the added weight and complexity. That makes it easy to maintain.Identifying the business formatThe dynamic of the information flow in your business is what needs to be captured in order to streamline your office procedures. This can be a minefield if you start off with the wrong data model. I like to reduce everything to its most simple form and see how we can cope rather than doing all things to all people. A complicated system ends up being late in implementation and people grow reluctant to using it.Living in the nowOne constant thing in our world is change – so why not moving with the flow rather than fighting it? The trigger that makes your current system obsolete is something you probably never planned for. Nevertheless you are all the wiser out of the experience. Let’s build something today that is a good fit. |
