I’ve embarked on a side project to develop an event scheduler without much planning, but every good software project needs a methodology. Since no methodology I know really suits what I’m doing, and because the world of software really needs yet another methodology, I’ll share mine here. <\/p>\n
This methodology will be called the Loneman’s Coder Methodology<\/em> in the spirit of the rugged pioneers of coding. The basic idea of this is that I’m working alone and not with a team, so my way of working should be adapted to this reality. I can leverage the power of the Internet to find solutions to my problems, but there is no other person than me that can deal with it. Also, I’m working on a product and not a project for a single client: I’m the one making the call about which features needs to go in the product. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, to prepare for my coding journey, I’ll be going through the following steps to maximize my chance of technical success and waste as little time as possible:<\/p>\n When everything is ready, I’ll finally be able to jump into it and build the real thing. For now, I’ll be starting with the following guidelines. Since I have not reached this part of the project yet, I’ll have to make sure this evolves as I learn new things.<\/p>\n After all of this is done, I’ll hopefully be able to ride into the sunset with a good software product that’s in a usable state. This will only be the beginning of the rest of the life of the software: the quest for users will start and the software will need to be maintained, which is a completely different game. Sign up to my newsletter to stay tuned until then, there are still a lot of steps to complete!\n
