Making progress

I’m aware I didn’t publish a post in more than a month, but during the time I was (and still em) cracking on the final cut of QetriX for PHP.

So far I have the object and database model, I have HTML template for all major components: page, table, navigation, time sheet, form with controls etc.

I also determined file uploads and messaging/notifications thru the system. Still need to implement user accounts though, that involves user groups, roles and privileges as well. There’s no general configuration at the moment, but it’s also designed.

I tried to recycle some code from the previous version, but It was mostly useless, which made me to realize, how different these versions actually are, even if I’m doing pretty much the same.

It takes quite a lot of time, because I’m developing many different things at once – to make it as similar as possible across different platforms and languages it’s not only PHP and HTML, but also C# with WPF and Java with GWT and Spring. I heard many great stuff about Node.js, so I’m going to include it to the process as well.

Everything I figure out I immediately publish on Wiki.
