This is a commonly overlooked issue and one of much importance. This is an expounded upon version of a recent entry made on the codedevl.com website blog. software engineering planning resource management Bulletin Boards Python Django Inked Magazine Pinchazo Publishing Group Nylon Magazine Resource Planning and Project Estimations Eric G. Elinow Failure to estimate a project's requirements accurately greatly affects your own ability meet deadlines as well as diminishes your trustability in the eyes of others, including clients and/or employers. I explain why and provide some solutions in this episode. clean software engineering,planning,resource management,Bulletin Boards,Python,Django,Inked Magazine,Pinchazo Publishing Group,Nylon Magazine Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:50:21 EST http://www.codedevl.com/podcasts/CodeDevl06.mp3 1196283021 In the field of Software Engineering all too often to people forget about the Engineering portion of the name which usually leads to disaster. This episode focuses on the Importance of project planning, resource planning and estimating the time and resource needs necessary to meet agreed upon deadlines without grossly over or underestimating. Techniques and examples are provided as well as some banter about the world of social networks, coding in the new world of web 2.0 and a flash back to the years gone by of Bulletin Board Systems. I even draw a parallel to changing the oil in a car's engine to prove a point about estimating caveats. logic code codedevl the zone Writing code in that trance like state, commonly known as, 'The Zone' Eric G. Elinow The illustrious 'zone' as it were is that place a coder's mind goes to when dealing with a particularly difficult, complex and/or interesting piece of code/logic.

They dont settle for doing things so-so. Lots of time and effort are invested in both themselves and their resultant code. This episode explains the whys and why nots of passionate coders and the masterpieces they (can) produce. contracting codedevl software engineering oracle java point of sale python What my experiences were like when I delved into the world of software engineering contracting.
