Weekly check in from Alan. He joined earlier, but I was still working with Chuck. We got back together around 11:30 am. Alan reported on his current projects and showed me some new code that he is working on. He does a great job re-factoring and re-using different code blocks. He showed me some new stuff dealing with objects, DAO's (data access objects), services, and database triggers. All of those pieces are fairly advanced and above the ability of some of the other developers. Nice update.
