Added some functionality to store meetings, everything still lives in the browser and local storage but now we have something meaningful to store and sync with the server that we’ll implement in the next session.

Got some great feedback on my first screencast, which is awesome! I mentioned that I usually use typescript in my previous post and one viewer picked up on that and requested a screencast converting the app to use typescript. Excellent idea, so here it is! Once again I underestimated the time it would take though, my est. was ~20 minutes, it ended up taking 35 minutes. Speaking, thinking, motivating decisions and writning code just takes a bit longer than what I’m used to. ;-)

I’m thinking server side coding for the next sitting. Until then, have a nice day!

Got some alone time and decided to spend an hour on coding. I recorded my coding session, making this my first official screencast! The idea is to share my thoughts when I write code and perhaps get some constructive criticism / feedback. The task was to create an app to keep track of how much meetings cost for companies. I started from scratch and managed to get a prototype up and running in windows azure in ~50 minutes or so.

The video is unedited and shot in one take. I hadn’t approached the task more than giving it a thought the night before. With the result in hand I’m pretty satisfied with how it went. Sure I got some errors due to typos but that’s part of the day to day work for a developer. I also encounterd some bugs due to framework incompatibilies which I managed to tackle as well.
If I do a second sitting the roadmap is to implement a server side solution. Perhaps make it a multi-tenant site and store all meetings to get an overall cost per month for instance. Sounds like a plan? ;-)
Happy holidays!
