Shadowcat lessons learned report

Submitted by prechelt on Thu, 2011-01-27 09:10

The Shadowcat (Perl) team's lead Matt Trout has put together a report by the title of "Plat_Forms redux".

It is consists mostly of Perl-ish technical considerations but also has some interesting methodological and general statements. And it is pretty witty.

Nearing the end: Packaging

Submitted by prechelt on Wed, 2011-01-19 17:29

Still no panic.

90 minutes before the end of the contest, we told the teams to remember that they must finish packaging and ZIPing their solution before 18:00. (The requirement says to send an email containing the checksum of the ZIP file by that time). Several teams promptly finished their development and went into the packaging phase without any signs of wrath, depression, or panic.

Cool, folks!

Who said software developers don't collaborate?

It is not true.
