Project Management For Beginners? 168

lawpoop writes "At my current workplace, I'm tasked with creating a rather complicated and metastasizing web-database application. I've mostly been the sole 'IT guy' at my workplaces in the past, so I've never had to, nor taken the time, to learn proper project management routines — code comments mostly got me through it. Now for this project, it's getting somewhat hairy and I'm sensing that I need to start doing things in a more organized manner. What resources would you direct me to? Books? (I wouldn't mind buying one good one.) Websites? What do proper 'specs' look like? Must I use UML (seems complicated and unintuitive) or a simpler ER diagram? For this job, I just need to provide better estimates for completing features, but what will I need if/when I would be working with a team?"

1. Because Windows has become the baseline 2. Because Macs are expensive 3. Because Windows desktop program presentation "seems" more coherent, smooth, tight (fonts, etc) even after much customization, which most people will never do. 4. Because Windows comes loaded on most Desktops 5. Because most people don't care about design origins, security advantages, etc. When was the last time Grandma's machine was hacked? 6. Because most people have been socialized to the ways of windows, and culture doesn't change overnight. shall I go on?

cool. The very first thing I would do is program her to GET OFF MY BACK. Then I would program her to think orgasms are food, and to live in a permanent state of hunger. And lastly, she would always address me as "Maaaaaassssttteeerrrrrrr Oooooo"
