All along, the goal of this framework has been to insure that objects inside the framework are completely decoupled from the technology stack. Adding AJAX or switching to a thick client should not result in changes to existing objects. When the object is model oriented, this is easily accomplished. By their very […]

In all the prior lessons, I showed you how to create the building blocks of the framework. Today, I finally show you how to use those building blocks to define and create facades. The first lesson introduced the core objects and interfaces of the facade, the second lesson introduced objects that model controller […]

It is inevitable that at some point in time, I write again about technology. So I return you to our framework. I began by building a core set of classes. I followed that with a set of classes that will be used to model controller behavior. In the last lesson, I […]

To get the most out of VersionOne, during an iteration each team member should update their status at the end of each day. Fortunately that process is one that only takes 1-5 minutes. So, team members, keep in mind, for the cost of 1-5 minutes a day you no longer have to […]

Ok, so you are starting to get a good feel for RoR. You have configured Eclipse for RoR development and are now ready to start that killer project that will set you up for early retirement. It is time for good source code control management and these days that means subversion. […]
