Milen and I began our fifth day at Field2Base by once again attending the development team’s daily stand- up meeting. After the meeting, we helped Mary with part of a form for a customer. In this form, we pulled from a spreadsheet to output a branch name, number, and up to six relevant email addresses to be displayed on a page and automatically used throughout the filling of the form as a whole. After we scripted the SQL for this to function, we tested the form both in forms designer’s preview mode and on an android tablet to assure the new functionality worked with no issues. After this, we started another form for Mary except this time from scratch. Given the form backgrounds, we built the buttons and functionality in order for the user to navigate the form and have extra pages appear when needed at the press of a button. After lunch, we had a video call with another one of the developers, Ravi. Ravi lives in Charlottesville Virginia so he works remotely for the development team. We talked with him for about an hour about his career path and his thoughts on the software industry as a whole, given how constantly evolving it is and that personal education in the software field is constant and doesn’t stop after college. Once we were done talking to Ravi we continued work on the form for Mary. We finished the functionality of that form and headed home for the evening.
