Excerpts from devshop creator Craig Fitzpatrick

Habit   Identified as
Estimating how long work takes => Time estimation error
Pure dev time versus fighting fires => Distraction rate
Premature speculation (we make a bunch of promises too early in the process when we don’t have enough information) => Schedule confidence
Requirements and schedule falling out of sync. => Tie requirements and designs to tasks / estimates
Not planning for change. => Turn / Context switching

Over the next few days, I’ll be a “ning” developer :D , actually I started playing around the code about a month ago. But taken away off some other projects (feature integration) on PhpFox.

And as always, I started from the index.php going thru all the include files.

<?php
define('NF_APP_BASE',dirname(__FILE__));
require_once NF_APP_BASE . '/lib/index.php';
?>

Then look for anything that says “request” which is basically the point of interaction, how it receives it and handles it. After that, I look for the database object, its methods. Until the haunt kept on going.
