Weekend with Erik
Erik, my business partner, recently flew down (with his daughter) from the Northern Virginia area to discuss strategic planning, and meet some of our employees that were not with us during his last trip (more than a year ago). Left to our own devices, and without our wives or children around, we were able to discuss market strategy, and project status, as well as potential new ventures and products.We discussed and reviewed Project X, which has been under wraps for about 8 months now. It is slowly inching toward completion, and we are hoping for a product launch by mid-September. I've written previously about our usage of Java, Spring, Hibernate, and other technologies (I believe we may be one of the only Lubbock technology companies to be embracing these breakthrough technologies), and they are proving to be very stable on the backend. However, the GUI needs some work.
The entire GUI is being reworked during the next few weeks. Unfortunately, GUI work usually requires that you write it entirely before you find out that the pieces do not fit together very well. In our case, about half of the pieces fit well together, and the other half would not make sense to anyone but one of the developers. Considering this is going to be marketed to a very non-technical audience, it must be usable by my grandmother.
So, today we spent a good number of hours working on how to create new GUI elements which would replace those that we have that do not work (and hope that the new ones work very well).
