Well from the first time I realized ten minutes ain't a small amount of time. It is large enough to caputer a day's event.
Well for starters this is the first time I would be blogging on a laptop. Went to office today and spent lot of unnecessary time getting the gui done rather than concentrating on the fate of the web page i.e. the functionality. What I thought would be a cakewalk turned out to be a herculean task
in itself. This is not the first time this has happened. A few days ago I thought I would surprise
both Julie, Usha and all my team members by doing add/delete/edit functionalities in one go. I
guess I need more patience and understanding and the need to take decisions step by step.
As Paresh rightly said I think too much ahead than about the task at hand and trying to delve into multiple things at the same time is wasting too much of my productivity and thinking. Well I should make it a point to note down on the notepad what is it that I am going to do
and what are the targets.
The future ain't looking bright as Paresh, the only source of knowledge would not be as much
involved as he is now. And top of that the DB design has drastically changed. I wonder how the
business logic is going to be now. The tool is not going to be of much help and we will be left fending for ourselves. So the first thing to do would be to know how the Business Classes are generated, and start writing classes and procedures of our own.
Well putting things in perspective, I see no fault of Julie at all in the way she acts. She makes us
crazy with all those unnecessary things like Excel Sheet, Time progress sheet, her intervention in every aspect of the project. Though initially I was freaking irritated when she asked me to pump in at least five rows in all the 10 tables and another 9 Lookup tables doing that I realized how messed up the DataBase really was. I was practically chaning each and every database invovled and their relationships. A very valuable lesson for the future indeed.
This project immaterial of the fate (looks like this is going to scrapped again) has made me realize the real power of C#.Net and the sophistication involved in every aspect of designing. I guess without Paresh's help these things would have taken at least a year and a half to learn. Experience, as Bhav says, is all what we need. Even after so many days of trying to get grips and learn new things I am not able to progress beyond and any amount of R&D done in getting a problem is solved is going waste. Something should be done and I should make it a point to keep track of every new thing learnt....
Well... i guess i exceeeded the ten minute mark by at least another ten minutes...
next time i will stick to the timings....
