The Countdown Begins...

It all started harmlessly enough; I had been recently separated from the company that was paying my bills so I decided to build a new application that I felt had value... but what? As is usually the case you stick to what you "think" you know. I was a "QA / Process Guy" not a technology guru. So I started thinking about the tools I used daily and what I liked and disliked about them; could I make them better? Perhaps not but I might be able to make them more usable for the average end user and surely I had enough experience to help others. With the help of my partner in crime, we set off on this journey.

The world of developing web applications is very different from the client-server and embedded applications I developed more than a decade ago. New technologies have emerged, SOA, Ajax and the explosion of Open Source tools and applications presented me with a personal challenge to learn to program again.

In the next few weeks, my partner and I will be revealing the Beta version of our efforts. We hope you check it out and let us know what you think of it and if you can see value in it.
