Development Status of Project X
We're not ready to let the cat out of the bag yet about our newest software product, however, it should be quite revolutionary in the low-tech space that it's going into. We have split the development of the product into three general sections, with three different personnel working on the project. The sections are:- Backend development
- Frontend development
- Algorithm development
Backend Development consists of working with the Spring Framework, Acegi Security, Hibernate, and outputting XML. Testing is done using Freemarker an wonderful templating language.
Frontend Development consists of working with Prototype.js, Scriptaculous, and other Javascript libraries. Validation and AJAX are also necessary skillsets on the frontend.
Algorithm Development is one of the most interesting, and may be the only part of the system which could be considered Intellectual Property. Needless to say, we have to compute between several hundred and several billion combinations in a rapid amount of time, and are getting to use some non-traditional programming methods to achieve the speed improvements that we would like.
So far, all three teams are working well together, and have been able to keep up with each other. No one is yet in need of being sent off with a toilet seat -- but that could change, of course.
