Hi, I am working in a project which is quite complex in terms of size (it's to make a web app). The first problem is that nobody is interested in any products which could really solve the problems surrounding the project (lack of time, no adjustments in timescales in response to ever changing requirements). Bare in mind these products a...
Hi, This is more of a developers management question, but since most of you here are developers, you probably have some insights on this.

Some of my team I don't know what to do with, they are unable to work on their own, require massive a...
For the last few years I was the only developer that handled the databases we created for our web projects. That meant that I got full control of version management. I can't keep up with doing all the database work anymore and I want to bring some other developers into the cycle. We use Tortoise SVN and store all repositories on a dedic...
