FileCatalyst Workflow: Control Where Your Files Go

Formerly, this involved having to contact your admin and requesting them to change your account to point to a different FileCatalyst Server in order to upload files to that office. Depending [...]
The Importance of Process
I like to compare the software development process to a good Golf swing. Golf is a game of inches. Your swing makes the difference between a good story at the 19th hole or the walk of shame in the bushes on the 7th. Consistency and repeatability is everything in Golf, and it is everything in [...]
The Connectedness Principle in REST
