What is Usware Technologies?

by shabda on August 27, 2008

From the sales pitch,

Usware Technologies is a Web Application Development Studio specialising in Django and Jquery. We build “Amazing Web Apps”.

But why Usware?

A lot of software is built as Themware. They give you specifications, you take the specification, you never talk to them till the software is built. Waterfall Model of software development suck.

Software development does not have to suck. There is a better way to develop software.

With rise of Agile Languages, and Agile Methodology, we can start to build Usware. They give you specifications, you read it, and US builds it. Iterative development FTW.

Enough theory. Why Usware?

Your customers do not know what they want. When they say “we will know it, when we see it” they are correct. Software Development is complex not because the technology is complex, it is complex because your client requirements are complex, because people are complex. Themware models of development may help you fight technical complexity, but how can they fight the human complexity, if you never talk to end users during development.

Even more enough theory. How Usware?

Iterative Development, FTW! As Usware we develop Usware (Imagine that!). We use a Project Management tool, which does not fight us. We have at least a weekly iteration. The end users get a chance to give feedback early in the development cycle.
