What’s a good model for continuous manager programmer feedback?

Is it important for managers to give devs regular feedback on how they’re doing and vice versa? I say vice versa because I consider employees to be responsible to their manager, and managers to be responsible to their employees.

Collaboration between client, web designer, and web developer

I am primarily a Web Developer (back end programming) – but intend to offer a complete service to my clients, from concept, to brand design, photoshop mock-ups and everything else in between.

What is the preferred way of communicating between applications on the same system?

I’m designing a system that is built on several small applications written in python, some of these will be services and others will be programs that only run during special situations. What I need to achieve is to let the server communicate to a service when a certain event occurs with some small amount of data. So that the service knows about the new situation and can take the appropriate action, sometimes immediately and sometimes in the future.
