  • Good sources Roy. The '*Product Development' blog is an excellent one. One factor, I see in *PD but not mentioned much is 'Commitment to Platform'. Quite a few IT dev shops are not fully commited to the undertaken dev platform (be it .NET or Java or Mac). Examples include - development is fine as long as it's all in XML with no or minimal use of C# or VB.NET or in another example, Mac development is fine as long as it's all in Java, etc. What's most disconcerting is if the team dev lead slams the dev platform itself - be it comments on 'Sun' setting or the daily Microsoft bashing. In such cases, you can be sure that any dev efforts will be sub-optimal (aka 'half-assed') and the dev project doomed to failure. I should write more about the 'Commitment to Platform' paradigm. 8-)

  • Good point SBC! I'd like to know your take on this subject.
