Scrum is an iterative incremental process of software development commonly used with agile software development. We're giving a try at this development process this year at BTO.
Your Account: new version lauched today!
A major update involving hundreds of files has occured today on BTO under the Your Account tab. The new version we've been working on in the last weeks was available and bug-fixed at the end of the afternoon.
Welcome to the programmer’s blog
This blog is written by Frédérick Dubois, programmer at ByTheOwner. Everything you'll read here is my personal opinion and is not read or approved before it is posted.
Here are some quick notes taken from the Zend Framework documentation about this class. I’ll aggregate the parts I feel are most useful… :
Introduction to Table Class
The Zend_Db_Table class is an object-oriented interface to database tables. It provides methods for many common operations on tables. The base class is extensible, so you can add custom logic.
Defining a Table Class
For each table in your database that you want to access, define a class that extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract.
My feeling on this, is that it’s a little bit “overkill”, at least for a website with a DB that handles hundreds of tables. I feel some tables will always be used in some kind of logical grouping into some class. In those cases you will not want to create systematically all those class… Unless you have a lot more time available than I do
Working at BTO as a web developper has great benefits, and one of them is that I’m actually in the beautiful city of Miami, attending the FOWA Future of Web Apps 2009 conference & workshops!
This morning, I had the chance to assist to Francisco Tolmasky’s (280 North) workshop called “How to build advanced web apps with Cappuccino and Objective-J”. It was an absolutely great demo and I’m actually very excited about using this framework for incoming projects at ByTheOwner.

Last year, we often had the impression to keep running without getting anywhere and getting anything done. We were always working on a thousand things at the same time and were having a lot of difficulty keeping the focus to get features out. The team is getting bigger and we didn’t quite succeed to manage it perfectly.
I won’t be part of the first Scrum project since I have to play the firefighter part. I’ll be trying to clear the bugs and emergencies so the other developpers can have an 100% focus on their 3 weeks project but still, I can’t wait to see if it will all work out as expected.
