Re: [WSG] Client Side Development Process

2007-04-08 Thread Cameron Singe

I think the most important thing is that full report going into every detail
isn't everything, I've found that a combination of paper mock ups (pre
development usability testing), specification and agile programming method
yield closer and faster results.  There a plenty of books and articles on
the topic and web development is heading very towards to this work ethic.
Also I personally use ruby on rails for agile development and I know a few
large companies are using rails to achieve prototypes which almost become
like a living breathing report.  It gives the developers a lot better domain
knowledge and also gives clients something they can see and touch.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Cameron

On the same topic, but somewhat slightly different, has anyone ever
heard of or used OOHDM (Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Method)? Is it
useful?

It is, as far as I understand, a methodology (process) to use when
creating web applications/sites.

Honestly, before I started mucking about in academic papers, I had never
heard of it.

signs off what the design team have produced, however we are going to
try to change this and get involved from an earlier point in the
project.

Would anyone like to offer any advice on setting up this process, and
any advice on things to take into consideration for inclusion of the
process. It'd be great to compile some documentation, and share it
with the rest of the community...

We're starting from a blank canvas so any advice appreciated.



Definitely add this book to your repertoire:

Web Redesign 2.0 | Workflow that Works
by Kelly Goto and Emily Cotler

[WSG] Client Side Development Process

Hi all

I wonder if anyone can offer some advice. I've recently landed a new  
development position within a very credible digital agency as part of  
their client side development team.  One of our things to do is  
develop a rock solid development process we work through for every  
project.  Traditionally we don't get our hand dirty until a client  
signs off what the design team have produced, however we are going to  
try to change this and get involved from an earlier point in the  
project.
