New Job and Leaving Arden

Recently I have been offered a new software development job in the middle of the city centre. This is going to be a great opportunity for me, gaining a lot more experience working with a new team and gaining new skills. 

As exciting as it all is I am still sad to leave Arden. I've got some great mates from working there over the past two years and owe them all a lot for all the help and guidance that has turned me into the developer I am today. I have some great memories from working here and will definitely be keeping in touch with a lot of my colleagues. 

Job Handover 

As I am leaving I have had to start handing over different projects that I have been in charge of, which is something I have not really had to do before. Ensuring all the documentation, test files and source code is checked in and that the other person knows exactly where to get this information. 

Along with doing the handovers I have also had to wrap up the few development events that I have outstanding. I have had to organise my time to ensure that everything will get done before I leave and I have learnt a fair bit from that alone. 

As a lasting note I would like to thank everyone at Arden Software for the past two years, I would especially like to thank Chris Hills for being a great development lead and friend.

I will write another post once I have started my new job in about two weeks or so and talk about some of the things I learn along the way. 

Onwards and upwards :)
