dear programmers,
is it possible to have a .net program completed in four months if i have
access to everything i need? or is this too tall of an order from my
bosses? i would really like to do this and to get them away from reusing
Navision every time we get a contract.
thanks,
Trint

This depends on the type of application, the size of the project and _your_
knowledge.

Ummm... sure...

Thats kinda an up in the air questoin... the question is, can you program in
it 4 months?

Given we know nothing about the program. I do'nt really want to say yes or
no.
 
1000 tables?

What the hell are you writing? IRS Master management software?

cross correlated with data from NASA?

=)
 
The determining factors are

1. Project scope (this should be fairly well defined if you are just going
to emulate Navision with a few enhancements/simplifications)

2. Quantity/Quality of resources. Including number of people on the team
and their skill levels.

3. Project risks and assumptions. Will your team or you be significantly
tasked with other projects etc.

I would say it would be damn near impossible even given that you can switch
to using webforms in .Net which is a huge boon.

The requirements assessment still has to be done so that you can map them to
unit testing.

Even with the discipline of working 120 days straight I don't think there's
any way you can do it by yourself.
 
A full featured, bug free accounting system is NOT going to happen in 4
months. period. I have gone through this, with a WMS, and no matter how
easy it /sounds/, you will not make the deadline. What are you talking
about, Great Pains, Macola, JDE? Anything that you can actually call an
"Accounting System" is going to take time, and lots of it.

Hi Chris,

Aren't coincidences wierd? In a different thread I posted this to Tom:

============================================
Hi Tom, :-)

"Go down on your server"

Happy to hump,
Fergus

ps. Please don't take the above literally - I let the server go on
top.
============================================

And now you've noticed it too!!

Regards
Fergus.

Hi Tom,

You've changed your underwear! ! Was that us spunking up, I mean
<speaking out> too forthrightly?

Best wishes with your new slogan - Tom Spanks Uber Geeks.

Dear Trint,

In your earlier post you asked how to rename a file.

The bad news, I'm afraid, is that you won't have learned <dotNET>
within 4 months - let alone write as substantial a piece of work as an
accounting package.

I'm just the messenger, don't shoot me.
It's just a message, don't shoot yourself.
Fergus

ps But I echo Chris from earlier. If someone else is paying, and
they're prepared for the project to slip and slide into 1996, then go
for it. Big-time fun value!!

Swing and a miss. =) Not a good start for programming acct packages..
because they all suck... not the package necessarily, but every friggin
accountant I know wants something different. GAAP means nothing to them I
think.

YES IT IS!!!

[9 months after project start] Your Boss: "How is our accounting project
going?"
You: "Well, we haven't implemented any 'accounting' functions... but it has
a wicked user interface, can reference objects on the internet, and manually
masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination by pressing 'this'
button."
Boss: "Cool... we'll charge our clients another million and say we are
keeping up with programming trends. Here's a bonus and let me borrow the
masturbator button."
 
Hi Chris,

ROFL!!

I did a Google search but nothing came up. Is this a private
project? Can I have the code? Do you need a co-developer? **

Still chuckling,
Fergus

======================================================
** It should be noted that Chris and I are <not in any way serious>
about this idea. Everyone knows that animals are here on this Earth
for us to hunt and shoot for needless gratification - not for abusing
in cages.

Scheduled for release in 2004 apparently. =)

BEST DISCLAIMER EVER!
 
Hi Nick,

I've spilt my tea and it's your fault. Major Lol.

| I bet this guy can even implement a Ctrl+Enter
| mechanism for multiline text boxes!!

Clever, lol.

| * Automated arse scratching

A break-away group stole this code and left Sage to set up their
own company - writing applications to manually masturbate caged
animals for artificial insemination. Or so I hear.

| * Remote payrising, for people that work from home
| and feel that they deserve something special

I've never bought an accounting package (though I wrote one once).
However I can see the need to re-acquaint myself.

| "rare material"

I've <told> you. It's <music> that I'm after.

Regards,
Fergus

What is this name of this company? Are they affiliated with ShitSoft games
development team?? They should be reported for doing things like that, do
they expose the animals to.. "rare material"?
