Computer programmers are mainly useless
Let me explain
When we had the boarding kennels and cattery i was looking for an animal boarding program for windows 7 , up to then I had windows XP
So I looked on the internet and there were some with 5 animal limit tryouts. The problem with all of them is everything was umpteen pages to go through
For example
one page for cients name and address- another for animal type- animal name- vets- vacination dates-dates booked-etc .all in all each required looking a 15-20 screens just to make a booking.
As if we had time to do all that and run a business.
So I contacted 2 or 3 that I had looked at and asked a what to me was a simple question. " How many boarding kennels did you consult before writing that boarding program "
answer NONE.
this is typical of most computer programmers, they never ever consult the end user to find out what they want.
Have to say right here and now AZZ is one of the exceptions

It is the same when new bylaw regulations came into force regarding animal boarding establishments
Those who introduced them never consulted private boarding establishments but went to places like the vet assoc- - RSPCA etc etc. So I rang the institute of enviormental engineers who drew up these guidelines, and they had not consulted or even visited a private boarding kennels
Why don't these type of people do their homework first and see what the end user has to say?????
Just to say one of the new conditions was all exercise areas must be covered!
my dog exercise area was a huge 1/4 acre paddock, was I to cover that over and how high should the cover be and made of what?
Thank goodness we are now retired
