After having to resort to coding on their laptops while seated sardine-style on airplanes to sharpen their development skills, this group of top IBM e-business architects decided to take up their programming swords and slay a more formidable dragon -- a full-blown Web application with all the bells and whistles. These dragonslayers designed, developed, and tested an application that incorporated the latest technologies and used IBM tools and products.

In this series, which tells the story of the dragonslayers and the Go-ForIt application that enhanced their consulting careers, the team describes the things that worked and the things that didn't, and includes samples of their code so you can follow along.
