Steve, Cory, and I talking about projects including hardware integrations. We spent some time talking about the Paypod project and possible options there. I gave the two of them (Steve and Cory) a small demo on the Bear 100 mobile ready app vs the older Bear 100 runner portal (non mobile ready or older code). I showed them how to compare the two based on the different URL's or web paths.

Steve wanted me to book some more time to work on his projects for a clients. We looked at the calendar and add a few more hours. Danny and John joined and had some questions about the auto deploy from the master code branch and how to monitor that per server.

The deeper we go, we keep seeing more and more need for more modern code and technology such as AJAX, jQuery, JavaScript, and other things that make virtual one-pager type interfaces work. We currently have lots of pages and sections that do a linear progression from page to page, with action pages, and form submittal and validation. That works great, but more and more requests and requirements are going to be needing the smaller more agile code options that are available. We have a number of developers who can do that, but often they are on other projects. There is a growing need to update our developers and keep them learning and playing with new code and tech. Maintenance - the ball keeps moving, this is not a static game. We need to keep moving as well.
