What am I working on?
This is a topic that up till now I have not really written much about. I am hoping that this will change. Therefore, currently I am working on a simple Flash remoting app that will allow a user, in this case my wife, to create invoices for her photography clients. The front end will be done in Flash with the backend done in Java. The database will be my new favorite DBMS PostgreSQL.
The main point of creating this program is as a starter app into Flash Remoting and Java. As such, the backend will use plain old java objects instead of session beans. As I refine it further I may eventually make the move to a more J2EE centred design.
So far I have the data model worked out and the tables setup in PostgreSQL. I also have a small amount of the Java code worked out. In addition, I also have a little of the interface designed. This I am doing directly in Flash as it seems to be faster for this project. Although, this is proving to be a bit of a problem as I seem keep hitting walls where ever I am uncertain of the implementation. I guess every project has its problems. For this one, it is the interface.
As I progress with it, I will post more information on the project and some of the things that I have learned doing it. Stay tuned.
