Jeff Adams’ research project focuses on ensuring best code reuse practices by reviewing, testing, and refactoring to produce a library of common utilities used by Azavea projects. Maintaining and enhancing this library will result in faster development cycles with fewer defects. Equally important, one of Jeff’s roles in this project is to keep Azavea developers up-to-date on changes to the common library and let them know of any relevant open source products that can obviate the need for us to "reinvent the wheel".
