I gotta say, I’m kind of jazzed today.
I’m under considerable pressure at work right now. We’ve had a long-running and usually troublesome project to implement a new online service. (Really, our first online service.)
For our side of it, I’ve had to work it from nothing, with basically nothing with no actual training. So, from my side I’ve had to teach myself about building and configuring a server to serve web services, learn to generate and deploy them. (With a little detour into re-writing some of the org.apache.axis classes to get them to behave properly.)
It’s only been in the last couple weeks I’ve been able to get to the actual programming in Java. Things are finally beginning to progress and I deployed the second of the five needed services today and it had no logic errors on the first pass!
(OK, that’s not to say I didn’t improperly implement it so I spent 4 hours this morning trying to get it to work, but the logic was solid.)
Yippeee! Who said you can’t teach an old programmer new tricks?
I’m seriously looking forward to our vacation in 3 weeks time to San Diego.
