Introducing projects A and B
I have two big projects that I’m working on which for now I will refer to ‘A’ and ‘B’. Project A is the big one and geared towards enterprise deployments. Large pieces of it are built, but it is no where near ready for launch.
Now project B on the other hand it pretty close to going beta. This one is a blog related project and I’m pretty excited about it. It has grown out of a simple need that I had and wanted to fill to something a with a bit of a broader scope. Some of the major back-end modules are about to go into a serious testing phase while I polish up the user interface. The good thing is that I can let it run on my home machine during its testing cycle before having to get a real server.
The last couple of weeks I have been flooded with ideas on various aspects of it and it is getting harder to keep the scope small enough so that I can do an initial launch and get it out there for people to try out before I go all out and implement all the extra cool features that I keep dreaming up.
Incidentally both applications have the same basic infrastructure. I am using Stripes for the web framework (just love it!), Spring for some minor stuff such as data sources and some simple bean configs — which Stripes integrates with nicely I might add — and the Yahoo UI libraries for the interface along with the extension library created by Jack Slocum which is just a really nice piece of work.
With any luck, project B will go into public beta in mid to late January and be ready for wide adoption about a month or two after that.

[...] I gave some details on my techie blog about the two projects that I am working on, ‘A’ and ‘B’. B is the one that I am currently focused on as it is a public facing site where project A is geared towards enterprises and is going to require far more work. [...]
