Today is officially Achilles Release Day!

Well, it's been an extremely busy week for our development team here at DevProducts and it all comes down to today, which we have officially dubbed "Achilles Release Day".

Know your Project Names - don't know what the Achilles project is?
Well, the way it works around here at DevProducts is that all projects are assigned a project name. For our client Seniors Discounts, we assigned the project name of "Achilles".

Other project names of course, came after such as Apollo, Athena, Atlanta, Atlas, Balios, Bellerophon, Bendis, Bia - look the list goes on, and when we reach project "Zeus", trust us, we _will_ let you know about it! ;)

Achilles:44
We have two major sub-projects to release for project Achilles today - Achilles:44 and Achilles:48. The main requirements for the Achilles:44 sub-project is to give the client the ability to incorporate discount listings their site's content through the WYSIWYG interface.

The configured content then needed to be rendered for display to the thousands of users that view the Seniors Discounts website daily.

Achilles:48
Achilles:48 was all about syndication. Creating atom and RSS feed formats for the native discount listings component we had developed for the main Achilles release.

As icing on the cake, our talented design team crafted a beautiful widget which consolidates access to discounts, articles and quick find feeds as well as a link to the Seniors Discounts Twitter page.

We managed this project through the use of the use of our project tracking system - currently dubbed as the "DevProducts projects sub-site" (uber cool name pending), but this is a subject for another post.

All in all, Achilles release day was an success. Seniors Discounts now has two brilliant tools to help them syndicate their content and promote their listings and although we do this time and time again - we, the DevProducts team look on proudly at the projects we have released.

Congratulations to the development team. Yet another quality DevProducts release.
