DEVELOPMENT SERVER
Rules to Successful Projects

When you come across a problem you can't solve, do you:

• Start coding?
• Start thinking about how you should write the function before coding?
• Put it off till later?
• Give up?
• Investigate to see whether someone else has come across the same problem?

In software development it is highly likely that someone else has encountered the same problem you have, and if so, they may have posted the solution on the web or even compiled a very handy 3rd party utility which fixes the problem for you.

Whether you are writing specs, providing support or developing a new solution search the following 3 sites for the answer:

1. Google Groups http://groups.google.com/ 
2. Google Search http://www.google.com/ 
3. Microsoft Knowledge Base http://support.microsoft.com/support
