Learning buffet
Calen says to capitalize on learning experiences.
From the start I planned on making a code generator for the project. In addition to making it less tedious and more interesting to work, I was also anticipating the benefits that it could bring to round 2.
So I did despite the inevitability of taking longer to finish than I would have otherwise.
So aside from finishing (well practically done anyway) the project and learning the essentials (Acrobat, GIT, Selenium and the coding methods we needed) what else am I bringing out of this?
1. I became more proficient in Freemarker including debugging despite its relatively sparse error messages.
2. I learned to use FMPP (easy really).
3. Reading XML much faster than I used to.
4. Gone through 5 versions of a code generator for the application we were making.
5. A very clear idea of how to make the 6th version code generator to make the work almost dead easy, and the foundation to do it.
