Purpose
Projman began as a simple test of the NetTalk Web Services, newly released in early 2006.
We had been talking about the need for a simple system to collate Todo’s. Now, I’ve got a Todo System written out of neccessity, but it’s just desktop. The beauty of this baby is that it’s built like a steak house, but she handles like a bistro. … Ahem. I mean, Projman (he/she) is designed to be run off the web. You can run the system purely on the desktop, but to experience it’s full capabilities, you’re gonna want to host it, on the network, or on the wild & wooly web.
So basically, you create Projects. Each Project has Todo’s. These Todo’s have a percentage complete, which in turn updates the percentage complete of the Project. You can then check on what Todo’s are left for a Project, what percentage a Project is complete, or even how many Todo’s have been started but not finished, and the dates in between.

0.1.0
Friday, 8th April 2006
Very basic functionality.
Via the web interface you can only add one layer of Tasks (and assign them to an already exsiting Project). You can modify their percentage complete.
The desktop interface has more functionality. Here you add Users, Projects, and Tasks. Sub-Tasks apparently do not work (I haven’t confirmed this yet, heh).
There may be an issue with the Install. It could be that I’ve missed a dll that is inherent to clarion. It’s harder to test for, because no “errors” come up telling you what dll is missing.
[…] Projman .. My First WebBaby Published by Stu 0 minutes ago in News & Opinions Welcome to the intial release (in a pre pre pre alpha form, ha ha) of Projman .. a Project Management System that allows you to access your Todo’s from anywhere you can access the web. As it is an initial product, the extent of it’s functionality is small. Basic. But the potential is there I believe. One exciting aspect of this “project” is that it showcases the wonderful NetTalk 4 (WebServices). I have had some trouble with child browses, but Bruce (i believe i read this somewhere) is on the ball, adding support for this very shortly (if not already). Once I can get them working, the functionality will expand (think Sub-Tasks, very important). Visit the Projman page, or just download it. Cheers, […]

[…] Projman .. The Next Generation Published by Stu 0 minutes ago in Development, News & Opinions, Projman Wow. Jack Bauer can really whup some assne. Ahem. As I sit here, in the cold, I’m excited. Why? Because, thanks to the latest updates of NetTalk 4, Projman has reached beta. It’s a loose beta, but there nonetheless. Projman is a Project Management System, that allows you to access your Todo’s from anywhere you can access the web. Instructions aren’t really in existance at the moment, so take it as you will. Everything can be administered (data) from the Webserver Application. Once you have started the server, the local address (still no option to set this yourself) is 127.0.0.1:88. Cheers, […]

[…] Time Keeps On Slipping Published by Stu 13 hours, 2 minutes ago in Development, News & Opinions, Projman Thought I’d just give a brief rundown on what I’ve been doing the last week or so, apart from scribing down news of Clarion 7. Projman has a new version on the way, soooon. There’s been a couple of cosmetic changes, at least one important functionality change, and the Documentation has begun! It’s a cool little bit of funcitonality in and of itself. Not finished yet, lots of ideas for improvements, but my goal is to get the User Guide scratched together and put the version up for use. The other major project I’ve been working on is my Freight System (don’t mind the site, it’s also undergoing a lot of upgrading). I’m creating an upgrade system that will be transferable across all my projects, and it’s really quite exciting. Most of the work is done by NetTalk, what a wonderful tool! In essence, it’s nothing new, developers have been doing this for long time long. The TAFRES Server connects to the FTP Server, and runs some logic to determine what new version installations are on the FTP Server for both the TAFRES Server and the TAFRES Client. These are then downloaded. If there is a TAFRES Server upgrade, all Clients are informed, and closed down, and then the Server is shutdown and a silent installation is run. If there is a Client upgrade (if a Server too, the Server runs first), the Clients are told to shutdown and restart (not sure if this will be automatic or manual). On restarting, the silent installation is run. The last part of this is still not finished. I’m in the middle of it. It’s an exciting time. Especially the update/upgrade (not sure which term to use yet) functionality. Once that’s down, then sending out updates will be so much easier than trying to explain to a client where to go to download, and then what to do with running an installation, on each client! ‘Nuff said for now, […]
