Chapter 56. A Practical Guide to Approaching Project Development
One of my favorite parts of being a teacher is interacting with students. And this chapter will focus on answering a viewer's question regarding strategies to approaching project development.
Student question
The following is a letter I received from Christian, a developer from Germany:
Starting web development a year ago, I'm currently building my first own commercial product (a classified ad site) using Rails. I really would like to hear your advice on how you approach building features on apps, as I have the following problems:
I can't really plan a feature from start to end because I always think I'm missing something important
Procrastination and being afraid to make errors that will be costly to correct in the future
How do you approach building features when you don't know the scope exactly?
What`s your process, how do you get unstuck?
Best regards,
Christian
