During this period Mr.
Whittle was employed on contract as a programmer on a billing system project
in a large team of programmers. The project was called the Regional
Negotiation System
(RNS) used
by BellSouth representatives when a customer requests a new line or
changes to facilities on an existing line.
The system was distributed
over several systems that included the graphical interface (Presentation
Layer),
customer database, regional address guides and billing information
database. Mr Whittle worked exclusively
on the Presentation Layer that provided the graphical user interface
to the BellSouth Representative. This
was written in C for X-Windows using the Motif widget set. During this project
Mr. Whittle was responsible for
implementing the design specifications drawn up by a team of analysts,
making the required code changes and
implementing the required test procedures.
Developers were responsible for maintaining their own WEB pages on the company intranet to chart
the progress of the current feature on which they were working. Mr Whittle was also jointly responsible
for the team WEB page and was responsible for creating prototype interfaces using DHTML and
JavaScript for pre-approval before coding in C/Motif.
