The story began when a newcomer joined my team.
"We are going to have some new hires joining our team.", said Albert, "of course, some training courses should be prepared."
The trailing word seems to be a hint to Keven. Seeing he projected the web page on the screen, a table with some course names and week numbers are shown."As you see, the table here shows the courses designed by Gary.", said Keven, "I've arranged the courses to fit the schedule. Any suggestions are welcomed."
"Or we could have new hires to write some tools we need.", continued Tommy.
Same words ringed in my mind arousing the old memory."... write some utilities, such as rich video testbed, or changelog parser...", said Gary. I could not stand anymore. I made sound to attract the attention from others."In my opinion, the training courses should focus on learning the skills they really need in the future. New hires should not ..."
"... should not waste their precious time on helping us develop what we want now.", the sudden exclaim seems to shock everyone and I continued, "Instead, they should learn the primitive, the fundamental skills which will decide what they will become in the following years.", I paused for a second, choosing the right words, and from their eyed I knew they are waiting for my answer. "Design pattern is one of the samples.", these few words seemed to make a perfect echoes.
A prologue is like a seed planted, and the chapters followed moistened it. I had spent few days on pondering what courses should be given so they could have enough skills to the tasks in the future.
The conjured idea was materialized as some documents, and a topic was given to the series - Googo.
