Thanks for the feedback on the first part of 'How I build an application' that I published two days ago.

The day after writing that post, I had a meeting with a client and I am starting an addon to an existing application for them. During the meeting, which lasted about 2 and 1/2 hours, I thought about what I had written the previous night. Here I was spending time laying out details of a business process with a client, discussing pro's and con's, when I had just written that I mostly guess at this stuff!

Well, I figured I should come clean. It took me another 48 hours to figure out that I really was still guessing. The meeting really came down to discussing the business process, or The Vision rather then the actual implementation of the project. In fact, because I know this client pretty well after working with them for over 2 years, they don't really care about the implementation.  read more »
