Today I was back in ATG developer training – in their Commerce course. Some of our time was spent looking at templates for category and product pages. This was something I’d been thinking of on my own, and it was good to see that my ideas were right on track. Basically I had been thinking [...]

UI and Magic!

March 21, 2008

In Jesse’s talk yesterday on Delivering Long-Term Design Value in a Short Term World, he mentioned that typically technology projects are built with data first in mind, then logic, and with UI tacked on top.

So Many Options (the ATG Product Suite)

March 20, 2008

The challenges with learning about the entire product suite for ATG is that there is LOT there! Campaign optimizer, customer intelligence — there are plenty of ways to gather lots of data on user behaviour, to perform analysis and enhance the user experience. I think it’s really compelling.

ATG Training – day 4

March 6, 2008

Today was one of those up and down days– this morning as we went through chapters on “scenarios” and “delivering personalized content”, I was very excited, eagerly sending off notes to co-workers on how this could enhance our offerings. By the afternoon I was glaring at my monitor, able to see why things weren’t working [...]

ATG – getting into the heart of things

March 5, 2008

Day three of training, and I really feel like today we started to really see the value of it. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been hearing about ATG since I started in June, but for many of the other developers, they weren’t sure what ATG had to offer that was so special. Today we looked at [...]
