Peter Bridger, from Avon and Somerset Police, gives an account of his experiences of developing using the DigiTV plug-ins to link with their backend systems....
"As a developer I see my role as making peoples lives easier by architecting and creating systems that remove the labour and time needed to get things done. When I heard about the ability to develop plugins for our microsite I contacted Ian Wiebkin, DigiTV's Technical Manager, who explained the ease of development through a phone call and then by reading the documentation available on the wiki. Within two working days I had finished development of seven plugins that link into the various systems and live information available from our website. I'm proud to have extended our services onto digital TV in a way that it will automatically keep them up to date without any further time or effort. Development was very straight forwards and rewarding, I found it a nice break from working on more elaborate systems. I'm more than happy to speak with any other developers or manager who may be considering such developments but are worried about the technical hurdles. On I personal note, I've enjoyed the experience of extending our services into plugins and I think I'd enjoy doing more work in this area." |
