The following quote is from a long article on Toyota in the New York Times: Improving efficiency in the factory, though, doesn’t necessarily lead to greater profits. Savings on the assembly line can mean a nicer dashboard without making the customer pay more for it. “If you’re efficient in the things the customer doesn’t see, […]
This is part 3 in my “Blogs I Read” series. I hope you find it useful. ADC Headlines – Apple – Feed I find it really useful to keep on top of the new documentation that is added to Apple’s Developer Connection website. I’ll often find something new I didn’t know, but mostly just seeing […]
I just got this email from Apple: What can I say? Apple, you just made my day. (And pushed me that much closer to a Video iPod…) It looks like there’s more content on the way. Did I mention since I attended the conference, all of this is “free”? It will be interesting to see […]
Jonathan Rentzsch is putting on a small developer conference called C4. For various reasons I’m not able to go, but oh how I want to. I’m SO glad it’s going to be re-broadcast like Evening at Adler was. Any how, I just found out that one of our Office developers, namely Olof Hellman, is making […]
Today marks the official beginning of sprint number 2 for the Automation Team. Last month was our first attempt at a modified Scrum. I mention “modified Scrum” simply because of the cruel fact that I don’t know everything there is to know about the Scrum Methodology. We just kind of picked out what made immediate […]
Oh now this is so, SO refreshing and from a “Cocoa” developer no less! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the comment that we’ve got to re-write all of Office in Cocoa as if that were some magic pill that turns all Mac applications into “pure” Mac applications. Wake up people! It’s 2006. […]
This is kind of a test, since I don’t know what kind of expertise exists with you my faithful reader, but I need some advice, or rather, I need some advice for my Dad. He’s 55+ and looking at getting back into the workforce and one option that has piqued his interest is web development. […]
I just watched a video on Channel 9 where Robert Scoble interviews David Anderson about the work he’s doing at Microsoft. I thought it was super interesting and thought you might enjoy it as well. The movie can be downloaded here. The following are some of my favorite quotes from the video: My work focuses […]
I just got my WWDC 2006 T-shirt and it has just these three words on it: Veni. Vidi. Codi. Does anyone know what they mean? Is this some Latin thing I should understand? It seems like it should mean: I came, I saw, I coded, but I’m not sure. I thought I’d run it through […]
Now this is interesting. Jack Greenfield and Keith Short take on the future of software development: Total global demand for software will grow by an order of magnitude over the next decade, driven by new forces in the global economy like the growing role of software in social infrastructure, by new application types like business […]
