A Breath of Fresh Air in my WO World

I have actually found a paying gig at a company in the SF Bay Area doing WebObjects application work. It is DynEd, a company that sells client software for people learning English. Or, as someone said, Rosetta Stone in reverse. The WO applications track the student meta-data, things you would expect, such as quiz results, what has been done, etc.

It will be interesting to see, over the long run, how I can evolve the site. Of course the possibility of using something other than WO has occurred to management. But a lot can be done to rationalize their system with WebObjects now, and it does not make sense to replace a working legacy system without re-factoring and re-forming the old system.

We'll see. And it is nice to be working for a company with a bit of an educational mission and not a company making yet another fancy jeejaw. Hey! Has anyone claimed the name "iJeejaw" yet? Opportunity strikes!
