It's all new
I'm starting to work on a new project (still related to music discovery and recommendation). Starting a brand new project is really fun. There are not too many times in a decade that I get to start with a completely blank slate. It's a great time for me to refactor my development process, learn about new tools and learn about new ways to do things. Still, sometime all the newness can be a tad overwhelming ... here are all the new things just in the last couple of weeks:
- New source code control (mercurial)
- New version of netbeans
- New version of GWT
- New team mates
- New coding standards (what are those '/**' and '*/' for?)
- New project hosting platform
- New organizational chart
