Got the Flu
Just when I was starting to work on Abassis on a daily basis, the flu or cold got me and I was terribly sidetracked. It's been two weeks of body pain and difficult to sleep. Gladly I'm much better now, and soon I hope to be completely recovered.
While my programming powers are recovering, I've been just thinking about Work Desk. What features should be on the first version. How to develop it. I've made a few decisions, and the most important one is that I will try a new development method, called TDD - test driven development. I hope that this will guarantee a software of better quality.
One worry I have when dealing with users' data is that the program should not corrupt or lose data. By using TDD, I will be able to, at any time, run a batch of tests that check if Work Desk stopped doing something it must do. So I will trust that won't be releasing software with bugs in things that were working previously.
Anyway, stay tuned. I'm pretty confident that this year I will release some good software!
