I have a new job at Propylon

I have a new job. For the past 4 weeks I have been working for Propylon, a small Irish software company. Propylon develops publishing systems for governments: systems designed to help with the legislative drafting process or for publishing citizen information websites, for example. The company is small, young (I am one of the oldest developers there), and very busy. However, it is a lot of fun. They have me working on a Java EE based project and mucking about with databases. I have also been doing a little python programming.

The staff there are pretty cool and know their stuff, so I am learning lots. A few of them have blogs, notably (in alphabetical order), Bill de hÓra, Vicky Lee, and Sean McGrath. Anyhow, so far so good. I need to check with people here what is considered proprietary information, but hopefully I will be able to blog about some of the things I have learned over the past few week.
