Mise En PlaceEverything in place. Everything in order.
Monday, April 26, 2010
How does mise en place apply?
• Name your layers and keep them organized.
• Version files. Ideally adopt Git or SVN.
• Simplify schedules and deadlines for everyone.
• Review the contract with everyone!
• Write the easiest, most important code first.
• Have an agenda before you schedule the meeting.
