I’m mean : )
had the weekly group meeting with the prof today. I was quite overly defensive on just about every matter, swords and katanas in hand. If you were in my position, you’d probably will too. Seeing that he took quite a number of shots at my group last time. This is a quote from one of the matter:
P: "why did you choose to use mySQL knowing that it doesn’t check foreign keys?"
Me: "why did you offer it?"
heh heh. If you are a developer, you’d probably know the answer is so obvious to which shouldn’t even be asked. Mind you this isn’t a business meeting or a project proposal. It’s a progress meeting.
Sigh….another thing that came up was how much work we will actually do, since ROR makes building an application so easy. He’s implying that with ROR, our job becomes too easy. Depending on how you look at it, this project is suppose to be give us some field experience. So…let’s see what we are actually doing.
-learning a new framework
-learning a new language
-same old OO designs
-same old DB tasks
Looks to me it’s just exactly what any another web development does.
Anyhow, if anything goes wrong, I’m still up for some JAVA + Oracle love.
