 Great decision!Take risks, experiment, make more than one prototype! Let things evolve before committing. Stay high quality, release based on release criterias not based on wishful date. Consider consulting a Ux expert to verify UI ideas. GOOD LUCK ! (and have fun) | ||

My $0.02 is: 1. Ensure that you iterate very frequently to avoid running into the same problems as before. Here's http://theleanstartup.com/principlesthe main site for the book, but you can google around and avoid reading the whole thing. Still, the takeaway is that you have to get lots of user feedback at each stage of development to avoid creating something that has unwanted features or clunky UI. 2. If you want help identifying viable names for the new product, let me know. I am an attorney and I work on trademark matters so I could help you "clear" a new name to avoid picking something that will only earn you a C&D letter down the line. Gratis, because I love SC2, and I would not disclose the suggested names to anyone. | ||

As someone who is still refactoring someone elses framework ( of course, it was completely undocumented ), count your blessings on being able to start anew. | ||

Gratis, because I love SC2, and I would not disclose the suggested names to anyone. Yes, iterative development is something close to my heart. About the name: I've already chosen it. I always choose a name in a very early stage, just like in this case. And I always choose a new, unique name/word. This was verified by Google which only list like 130 total pages for this word in the world (if you try any English word, you most likely get millions if not hundreds of millions of pages). | ||

Java is actually one of the easiest languages to refactor and to replace one chunk of the code at a time. Java IDEs have amazing code refactoring tools which make it easy to quickly move things around, rename things, etc. You can then start replacing parts of the program piece by piece. Since the UI is the part you like the least, maybe start by making a completely new interface and then connect it to the old code. You can then delete all the bits of the old UI. You can repeat such a process until things start looking completely new. And every step of the way you'll have a working product. And you can always start using Java 7 features any time you'd like--even on the old codebase. One thing I'd highly suggest with the new interface: do user tests on it. Write up a script that prompts people to do the types of tasks you'd expect a normal user to do. Have people try to follow the script while you watch and optionally video tape (with your phone is fine) without saying a single word or helping them. You can get amazing feedback on what's working and what isn't user interface wise that way. | ||

 good luck java ides? they are all cheap gimmicks compared to vs and resharper. Thats like saying c&c3 is a good rts sure it is ... till you play a real rts. Please take that a s challenge .. you find another ide that can challenge vs and resharper .. pls tell me. kinda want to get out of the .net world with microsofts lack of commitment to a front end tech. (ps the answer is not eclipse). What the guy above is saying makes a lot of sense. Look at it from a perspective of use cases - build acceptance tests. I really don't like this new fad of lean ... i mean it makes sense but allt hese suckers are buying into snake oil of commoditisation by buying into profitibality. You have already dont more than most people on here. sc2 gears is good. Sure it has evolved and it is showing signs of it, but you are one dude who has managed to kick some ass frankly. Be *really* careful about chucking stuff away. I have worked on and with people who have made that mistake WAY too many times. I guess you od have the luxury of not actually having someone dictating what to do or else they dont pay but still, getting code that works is really hard - when it does work it will be a lot more perverse and twisted than when you started. although when he starts talking about taping people ... dont do that ... if you really want that data ... add hooks for logging. Get people to install a version that implements usage feedback. Its cheaper, more realistic and gets stuff you would never really notice on vide. Also if someone says minimum viable product ... punch them. You ahve proved you can produce ... fucking own this thing. PS that risk thing is bs you may as well come up with INVEST and a play on innovation. | ||
