Seven days left of boot camp! Whaaaaat. Scrum: Yesterday we got an example of a SQL setup, teardown, and test courtesy of Jef, then we adapted that for use in our various tasks. I worked with Jon on setting up...
This week’s sprint goal: Data Persistence! Scrum: Yesterday I doubled my hands-on knowledge of SQL and database tables, and helped plan out this data persistence sprint. Today I’m working with Jon on the time activity entry feature and connecting that...
Since Friday’s blog was short (except for the hour-long video), let’s get caught up. Scrum: Friday we had our sprint 4 review and retrospective, today we’re starting sprint 5 and hopefully wrapping up some unfinished stories from previous sprints. No...
Project Auxano – Sprint 4 Review Six weeks down, two to go! This week was a very long week for us, and while there is much I could write about, I’m going to settle for just sharing our sprint review video....
I was worried yesterday that we might not complete all of our tasks for this sprint, and unfortunately it looks like we’re going to come up a bit short before the cut-off point tomorrow. We’ve had a LOT of un-planned-for...
The second half of this week is gonna be intense. Trying to do extra scrum master things on top of regular developer tasks has now been added to a few unexpected extra non-sprint-work things I have to do by the...

I can feel where my brain has stretched to fit all the new things I’ve learned today… or maybe that’s just a headache from not having any caffeine and staring at a computer screen for 14 hours. I can’t really...
Got a bit more sleep last night fortunately, but I’m still a bit worn down due to the blocks set in my way by the Time Activity view. Gonna get that knocked out today (or as close to knocked out...
Whew, today was slow. I got a requirement clarification last night when I actually read to the bottom of an email sent out to the group and discovered that what I thought was done was not really done. I created...
This weekend was a good weekend! Probably the best one since starting boot camp which is encouraging. I finally made some time to go out to eat at a local sushi place, and went to see X-Men: Days of Future...
It might just be me, but the past four weeks have been a roller coaster ride. Highs, lows, plenty of turns, getting flipped upside down… but hey – we’re halfway through the boot camp, and I’ve experienced some major breakthroughs...
