Knock Knock

Today the boss comes in and asks if I would be willing to go to a conference to grep some information on new technologies we need to work with soon. Turns out its an iPhone application. We are and always have been a Windows shop. I've been here almost eight years and we regularly laugh at anyone that even talks about alternatives.

But I secretly always wanted to know about the "other side" so I took the assignment. I don't actually know much about them but I'm not coding. I just need to figure out how to take the developer's code, build it on demand and over-night, provide QA services to validate it, set up and run automation testing and finally deploy new and updated releases to the users (ALL VPS!). Sounds like a nice challenge.

I'm getting fired up about this!
