XP

This is not about how I dumped linux on my HTPC yesterday and installed XP, but how much I enjoy doing things XP style.

I’m currently rewriting an application from a custom made framework to the customers own framework based on various standards (some dated, like Struts 1.1).

Much of the approach we’ve been forced to take due to the lack of time available to us has been to just build, remodel and build. Or in other words, write some code. Write some more code, and then think “hey, I’ve written this before!”.

And it goes fast too! We’re a quite small team, five developers, so it’s fairly easy to keep track of eachother and learn from eachothers best practices.

So in four weeks of coding (two have passed so far), it seems like we’ll actually manage to rewrite the entire app from one framework into another. It’s not much code, but the design and app we had to work with was a challenge.

My current client is great, and I really hope I get to stay here and do more good work for them. They have lots of big systems, and a lot of stuff I’d love to get my hands into and make as good as we’re doing the current app ;)
