The Best Part

As a software developer I had grown accustomed to being stuck in a cloth and metal box and only getting exposure to my fellow cube dwellers and my immediate supervisor. What drew me to my new post here at Passageways was the emphasis the company continues to put on all employees having direct contact with the customers. If I'm writing code, and I want to know how people will use a feature, I can go directly to those people and ask them right out, instead of getting a speculative interpretation.

Keeping with that mentality, I'm very excited about the inception of this blog and what it means for our customer-provider relationship. For me personally I look forward to sharing the ins an outs of our development process so that you can see how and where your participation steers our decisions. I'm also hoping that there will be time to show you how to better leverage the effort we put into our product from a coding point of view.

One last thing; we're currently in the design phase of our sprint (think of it as a sub-division of a project that lasts about a month). In the design phase, the features have been selected, but we are in the process of figuring out how we, as developers, will implement those features. Everything from what classes to make, to what colors and icons to use is part of this phase. This particular sprint is for our eForms Builder Module and has several bug fixes and one enhancement which is to make a copy of an existing form. If you have any strong opinions about how this feature should behave, now is the time to drop us a line!
