A little off topic, but ...

I'm a developer for a government ministry (I'll let you guys figure out the
rest). The IT "powers-that-be" have stipulated that all software development
be performed on a separate network that in no way connects to the "main"
network - ever. IT's blanket reason is "network security". These separate
networks cost a lot of money - a second database server, app server and a
couple of development machines, they are unpatchable (can't connect to the
web to get updates), you've got to burn a cd everytime you bring out a new
version, and burn a DVD to move big database updates back and forth. OK,
enough griping!

Would any of you be able to point me at some resources dealing with software
development strategies, or even personal examples of how they do it where
you work? I need to come up with a strategy for my department.

Thanks in advance,
Tim Gallivan
I know I'm a great teacher because when I give a lesson, the person never
comes back.
