WCSF (p&p, day 4)

Web development paradigms
  • Content sites (e.g., news)
  • Transactional sites (e.g., stores, banks)
  • Collaboration sites (e.g., wikis, workflows)
Demo, helpfully, to focus on transactional sites

WCSF facilitates...

Separation of UI development & UI design!

Richness, experience, navigation

Security, manageability, testing

Separation of responsibilities very easily, very clearly... deploy without affecting other subteams (ahem).

I guess the thing I find most challenging about "Factories" day is that demos like these, for me, are just teasers. They either get me thinking, "hey, that'd be fun to play around with" and/or "hey, that sample problem resembles a problem I recognize", or they don't. I think to do this, they have to show a variety of things in modest depth, but the depth itself ends up being lost on me, and that makes for long hours of struggling to pay meaningful attention.

I suspect some "homework" on my part would help with this... if I were to keep current on p&p, or at least brush up on the latest initiatives before heading off to the summit, I'd probably have enough of a basis in the technologies to have formed specific interests and questions. To that end, I've subscribed to about 15 different blogs today. Will the momentum carry through to 2008? Tune in!
