Important Skills for Developers

John Sonmez's Important Skills for a Software Developer

To this list, I'd add the ability to prioritze. The ability to balance your time, the client's goals, and the software's needs is a constant, hour by hour, day by day, battle. Software can always be delivered faster, more complete, less buggy, more performat, etc, etc. But all these things can not be done at the same time, by the same person.

Update

Still working away on my WebApi project. The team is making great progress. Still struggling a bit with Git, but we have our Team City build server set up, and starting to set up some decent Git/Bitbucket/Team City workflows.  

New api endpoints are being set up pretty regularly now, and the integration with the front end project is going well.

I had a crazy Linq bug that I squashed yesterday. I may make a seperate blog post on that. 

I've spent the passed three days getting a handle on our SoftArtisan's Excel implementation. As I'm going to be work on Excel integration for the next six to eight weeks, you can expect some posts on this subject!
