Development, or Dev, for short, is the department at Zappos.com that truly makes some magic happen on a basis that is quite daily, we gotta say. They build the Front and Back End of the website...and that is the simple explanation. If you want the 'more simplistic than necessary' explanation that I came up with, here you go:
"They type things into a black box on a computer screen, and then Zappos can sell you clothing through the computer screen."
I know, I know, that doesn't help. No one ever accused me of being smart in the ways of a Dev-er.
But I digress...This past week, the Dev Department were allowed 2 days to create and build whatever their hearts desired and all of the current projects that they are busy with were put on hold. Just to see what kind of Technological awesomeness that they could come up with to make our customer's shopping experiences better.
The Blogs Team crossed over into Dev to see what we could film without being reprimanded by Dev's Forces.
