DIY : Developing web applications in-house

When it is time to either upgrade or replace an application in your library, you face several questions. In Jenkins Law Library, a small membership library in Philadelphia, people are constantly stopping by the author's desk to ask if something can be upgraded or done differently. To be an effective programmer, it is needed to learn about and understand how others went about their jobs. Once you have an idea of how to implement your new application, come up with a sample to show to your staff. After you are sure that your demo will work for your staff, it is time to add functionality. When your first draft is done and ready for testing, always make sure to find people in your library who will test your new system. These testers will also bring new ideas to the table that the current users did not think of because they were too close to the project.
