Reminiscing while speaking to a group of app developers.. Those 1990s were an interesting period.

• Advent of www in our lives. Excitement of developing e-biz apps and the dotcom era.
• Bashing water-falls to develop own agile processes, crashing the networks and clashing with Infosec to go-live.
• Working on developing Apps for the PDA – dont get any other thoughts here 🙂 we are talking about Personal Digital Assistants way before today’s sophisticated Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Google Assistants.
• The days of Simon, Newton, Palm Pilots- for those uninitiated these were Neanderthals to the modern iPhones and Androids 🙂
