Behind the Code: Project Planning
In this new series of articles, Behind the Code, I'll be looking at the tools and processes that I've put into place to make me a more efficient and effective developer. I'm hoping to share my experiences, and while doing that, refine the way I work using your feedback.
Today, I'll be talking about project planning, the process of breaking a project into tasks, and estimating the effort to complete those tasks. The artifacts generated during this process can then be used to create a proposal for a client, cost estimations for your boss, or even the start of your project documentation.

The Secret Life of Devalot
Devalot lives, although you wouldn't know it from just reading this blog. During the last year and a half there have been some interesting improvements made to Devalot, but I made the mistake of not kicking out regular releases.
That all changed a few weeks ago when Isaac Foraker (a long-time friend) stepped up to the plate and assumed the role of Devalot maintainer. If you're excited about Devalot, this move should make you very happy.

DevFi Podcast #2
Chris and I strike again with the second installment of the DevFi podcast. If you ignore the fact that I'm using an inferior microphone compared to Chris, it's a pretty good show.
This time around we're talking about releasing software as an open source project, and some of the things that go along with that. We even lightly tread around the topic of open source licensing.
