Holy cow it's a good thing the Internet wasn't around when I was younger.
I had a meeting at 10am this morning to discuss online training for our software, and how to handle signing up, payments, scheduling classes, etc for it.
The phrase that scared me the most was just duplicate the whole interface we use for classroom training, but in the end we decided to start a little smaller (thank goodness, I hate duplicating code, even scripting/database stuff) and just let the sales staff handle scheduling and sign-ups on an internal calendar. When the program gets off the ground, and if it becomes popular, then we'll revisit the online sign-up process and its requisite code.
I think that's one of the very few times I left a meeting with absolutely no work to do. Not that I'm complaining…
