Talking with John about data tables. We were going over reasons why we are using older versions vs keeping things automatically updated. Some of that is just timing, knowledge, and maintenance. Other topics included CDN's (content delivery network), jQuery, bootstrap, and other outside libraries. It sure would be nice to be able to redraw the data tables and remove rows if needed. The new ones can do that, but the old ones can't do that option. Back in the day, we didn't need that option.

Other things that we want to do with the data tables are things like: sub filter, sort, export, print, and pagination. We need documentation for some of these outside libraries and other dependencies. Our projects get more complicated due to different developers, time frames (when it was built), and even level of coding ability. We have quite the mix. All part of the game. John and I were talking about creating our own documentation for some of our code use and outside libraries - how do we use it. We will use the adilas docs for this.

We also talked about testing, training, and setting up standards. We would love to even offer some sort of formal training and certification. Sometimes we end up judging some of our developers that haven't had the correct training. Natural, but unfair. The other topics for the day were the cost of transitions and having to pay bills and other life expenses - inflation and needs.
