Producing Software, the Easy Way

November 29th, 2005 · No Comments

OK, so the post title is a total lie. There really is no easy way to produce and sell software. There are varying degrees of difficulty that can be associated with software development, though.

Terms I Never Want to Hear Again

November 3rd, 2005 · No Comments
