I found a bug in the way iscript treats a copied work flow item...
Recently in Image Now Category
Well, it the last day. I hasn't been to bad. At least for me. Wes got sick.
OK... forget all that. They gave up GOOD STUFF!!! I got a game boy advance and a game and Wes got a IPod radio thing. All I know is that my game boy says that this was the best training ever!!!
I think that the imagenow db objects turn all databases into an object databases instead of relational. Its finally making more sense (sorta'). At least now I know why it seemed familiar.
Right now the instructor and the one of the students, who is also works for imagenow, are talking trash about linux. I guess there is always a snake in the garden. They talk like mysql is the only opensource database. I think this is where mysql popularity does OSS a disservice in bussiness. Looking at the lack of features and general imaturity of it's view, trigger, and PL just make all OSS seem not usable for enterprise uses. I'm not saying the mysql is bad, I just wish more people knew about postgresql and firebird.
Its day three, and I'm bored. We have barly written any code. I hope today we get more in-depth. Also so of the language constucts the choose for there database library is strange. For example:
Our IC from the ImageNow installation ,Dusty, gave us a tour of the building. He also told us about more of the perks at ImageNow.
- First person on their floor gets to connect their ITunes library with sound system for the day.
- Software developers are off limits to everyone else. They choose their own cubicles which have doors made of glass and they can shut them. The Software devs are also fed, I think daily, lunch.
- Keg frige filled every friday.
- Workout room
- Dodge ball court with scoreboard, and bleachers.
- Free coke and vending machines.
- Many small conference rooms.
- The company is paying to send employees to go see the final four. ImageNow is covering ALL EXPENSES!
- BEST PLACES TO WORK 2004
Thats all I can think of now. But man, I don't want to go back.
I hoped that this class would have more information on the fundamentals of iScript/Javascript. Thats not the way this class is going to work. We jumped right in on the imagenow objects. I guess I should have expected this.
Ok, today we start scripting. At least that what the agenda says. We get the "What is iScript?" talk, and then our first script: Route based on Doc Type. Sounds like fun, maybe. I guess we will see...
We just spent the last hour doing a group project. None of it dealt with scripting. The worst part was that directions were not that good. We spent most of out time decrypting them and then second guessing them. The only fun thing was creating users that you know are going to get replaced as scripts. Well, I hope so anyway.
These's people have an awesome company. They have a slide. It starts on the second floor and goes to the first. They was a news article with a quote from the CEO that said, "I hate turnover". What a novel idea. They get bonuses like $500 gift certificates. I would like to work here...
UPDATE:
They have seqways and xboxes on 50 inch screen tv's for brake. That sure beats a trip to the JBK. I am so depressed. :(
