New RETS Conclusion Topic Recap RETS MLS Support Staff Seminar themes 11/29/2018 New Topic We’ve covered a lot of ground in our day together Recap RETS Developer Seminar themes What did we cover today? What’s the short, one-liner that describes each topic? What makes these topics important to us as software developers? Joke: A computer consultant dies. He goes to Heaven and arrives at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter says: "Hello and welcome to Heaven. Consulting must certainly be an honest profession. Congratulations on living such a long and virtuous life to the ripe old age of 126 years.” The computer consultant is puzzled: "What do you mean, a long and virtuous life? I died of a heart attack at the age of 34!” Saint Peter frowns and says: "That can't be right. We added up all of your time sheets!"
