It's been another busy week at Dovetail HQ. I'm learning lots and becoming slightly less of a burden. I still ask questions, but the most common response I get now from Mossy is 'Google It!' I think he actually likes the opportunity to show-off his knowledge and occassionally I'll throw him an unanswered stackoverflow question from 6 months ago, just to keep him on his toes!
On Tuesday, Trevor attended the first ITS Ireland seminar of 2014. Tim Mullen of ARUP presented an update on the National Roads Authority's new Design Manual for Roads and Bridges which is currently in development. It wasn't very directly relevant to our software development work, but is very good background information for us in our work in Intelligent Transport Systems in general.
Yesterday, Mossy and Tomás sat, and passed, the 'Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3' Microsoft Certification exam. About time, considering they've both been professional web developers for over 10 years!
