The to do list

Yes, its be done before, but we need to learn some new tools, techniques and technologies, and the best way to do that is to build something well understood, but complex enough to have a broad range of requirements. so we need to develop an app, a simple one, say a todo list with reminders just for a demo and to learn. We can then expand on it as we test our new skills. For example, hook it up with sms service and it reminds you, and for meetings and on the run, have a client on droid/iphone that gets notifications, create reminders from idevice/gDevice. This Wiki will document the requirements and design spec. Because this is a learning exercise, the implementation will be driven by the technologies we are interested in learning. These are:

• PaaS environments - the app will be deployed to CloudFoundry.com

• node.js

• Mongo DB

• rabbitMQ

• XMPP?

• a framework that is supported on CloudFoundry, so we will choose from:

• grails

• java_web

• lift

• node

• play

• rack

• rails3

• sinatra

• spring

• standalone

• I agree Iwan, will do some of this stuff tonight. acf
