The more I develop the more I hate bloatware. Let me explain…
I code using Coda, because it does what I need. I looked at Aptana Studio, Eclipse, PHPIDE and lots of others, before settling on Coda. I signed up for MacHeist last year and got at license for Espresso, but still didn’t use it. Coda rocks. It is a fantastic editor. It may not do code folding – a favourite of mine, coming in Coda 2 apparently – but it does what I need 99% of the time.

As I’ve previously mentioned, we’re developing BeGrand.net using an iterative, agile methodology, which is nice. However, this is the most misunderstood element of my working life when I talk to other, non-techies about it. So I thought I’d write this post to describe what an iteration, in the terms of BeGrand.net, actually means…
We’ve just pulled down the wooly hat, given a lovely packed lunch to and generally kissed off to the first day of school our first proper release since we launched on 25th January. We’d codenamed it “Ellington” and were ready to begin on the next release which is codenamed “Armstrong”. The more astute members of the audience might be spotting a link here.

Out of the box, the Drupal Organic Groups module doesn’t put the group name at the top of each group post. This looked a bit odd to use because we use a modified og_tracker block on our homepage to show registered users new group, blog and comment content.
When you clicked on the title of the group post from this block you didn’t really have a context in terms of which group you were in (apart from the not so conspicuous group tools block in the right sidebar.

As we’ve now launched, we’re moving into Phase 2 development, which is nice.
However, we’ve moved from 2 week intensive to 3 week, more reflective, iterations.
We are due to deliver P2 R1 (phase 2, release 1) codename Ellington on 22nd Feb with testing starting on the 15th. I’ve been looking at change/bug management solutions as we go forward. At the start of this iteration we had 11 features, bugs or enhancements to include. Less than a week later, we’re up to 24, and counting.
